Equatorial Guinea leader Teodoro Obiang on two-day visit to Zimbabwe
9:45 CAT | 24 May 2018
President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea jetted into Harare on Thursday for a two-day state visit during which he is expected to discuss ways of strengthening bilateral ties between his country and Zimbabwe. Nguema is expected to pay a courtesy call on President Emmerson Mnangagwa who assumed the presidency in November last year.
The Equatorial Guinea leader is a long standing friend of Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU PF and former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, especially since a group of mercenaries led by Briton Simon Mann was intercepted in Harare in March 2004 while they were en route to Malabo.
Mugabe intercepted Mann and a group of about 60 other mercenaries at Harare International Airport.
The group was on its way to topple Nguema and since then the two regimes have developed very close ties.
A number of Zimbabwean soldiers have been to the western African country to train colleagues there under a government to government agreement.
The two countries have had bilateral agreements in the areas of education and mining and they are now exploring new areas of cooperation.
