President Robert Mugabe is set to join his counterpart, Russian President Vladmir Putin, in celebrating Russia's annual victory day.
Russia commemorates the end of World War II in Europe on Saturday.
Mugabe's spokesperson George Charamba told News24 that the veteran leader had been invited to attend the celebrations in his capacity as the African Union chair.
"My president and your president [Jacob Zuma] have been invited to attend the celebrations and president Mugabe is attending in his capacity as the AU chair," said Charamba.
Charamba, however, refused to say when Mugabe would be travelling, citing security concerns.
"It's a security issue and I can't tell you when he is leaving. All I can tell you is that he is fine and ready to travel," Charamba said.
