Mugabe together with Turkish President Recep Erdogan who left almost at the same time, were seen off at Malabo International Airport by host President Theodore Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

Upon arrival at the Harare International Airport, Mugabe was met  by Vice President Dr Joice Mujuru, Senior Minister of State Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo, Presidential Affairs Minister Didymus Mutasa, Defence Minister Dr Sydney Sekeramayi, Minister of State for Harare Metropolitan province Miriam Chikukwa, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda, senior government officials and service chiefs, among others.
