President Robert Mugabe has left for Sendai, Japan to attend the third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.
The meeting will run from the 14th to the 18th of this month.
President Mugabe was seen off at the Harare International Airport by the two vice presidents, Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekheze Mphoko, cabinet ministers, service chiefs and the Japanese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Yayishi Tendai Herashimi.
At the meeting, Mugabe will join other world leaders, experts on disaster management and the United Nations family dealing with disaster risk reduction.
Some issues to be discussed at the meeting include long term agreements on disaster risk reduction and measures to reduce the effects of climate change.
Its not clear as to when Mugabe is due back home. Speculation is that Mugabe is set to spend three weeks in the Far East where he is expected to visit several countries for his "frequent medical check-ups".
