Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has reportedly arrived in Rome to attend a United Nations food summit.
He is accused by domestic critics of running down agriculture and causing food shortages in his own country. It is Mugabe's first visit to Europe since the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) won a majority in parliamentary elections in March. Mugabe and his ministers are usually subject to a European Union travel ban due to human rights issues. However, Mugabe is allowed to attend UN forums. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) summit starts on Tuesday.
