Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa arrived Tuesday afternoon in Equatorial Guinea, for a three-day state visit.

Mnangagwa, accompanied by several government ministers and business leaders, is expected to hold bilateral talks with Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the president of Equatorial Guinea, on various issues of mutual interest.

This is Mnangagwa’s second visit to the central African nation two months after he attended Mbasogo’s inauguration in December last year.

Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea enjoy strong bilateral relations after Zimbabwe played a crucial role in foiling a coup attempt on Mbasogo’s government in 2004.
