ZIMBABWEAN President Robert Mugabe is to visit Cuba over the weekend in an official three-day visit with President Fidel Castro, Cuba's government announced Thursday.

Mugabe will arrive Saturday with his wife, Grace Mugabe, Foreign Minister Simbarashe Mumbengengwi and other government officials.

The announcement said Mugabe and his entourage will meet with Castro and other officials and will visit places of "historical and scientific interest."

The weekend visit to the island will be the African leader's sixth, the most recent having been in 2002.

Castro visited Zimbabwe in 1986, for a meeting of non-aligned nations.

Cuba has educated 3,034 Zimbabwean students, according to Havana's foreign ministry. Four Zimbabwean students are attending Cuba's International School of Physical Education and Sports, and 10 others are studying science at the University of Havana.
