President Robert Mugabe is slowly resuming his duties as he is expected to fly to Mali today from his Far East holiday hideout.
Mugage (92) who is officially on leave will today attend the 27th edition of the France-Africa Summit.
The summit is held over two days.
It is not clear why acting president Phelekezela Mphoko is not representing the country.
However, Mugabe rarely miss international gatherings of world leaders.
It is also not clear whether Mugabe will return straight to Zimbabwe after the summit or he will fly back to the Far East to continue his holiday with his family.
This week Chinese media said Mugabe was in Beijing, where he pledged to strengthen co-operation with China in various sectors of the economy, including infrastructure development and agriculture.
Early last week, vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa revealed that his boss had travelled to China and on Thursday, the VP told mourners at the late national hero, Peter Chanetsa's Borrowdale home that he had spoken to Mugabe before the Zanu PF strongman retreated to Singapore to continue with his holiday.
