Belgium said Wednesday it granted two government ministers from Zimbabwe
visas to attend an international meeting despite an European Union-
wide travel ban on officials closely linked to president Robert Mugabe.
"We are keeping to our international commitments," said Belgian government
spokesman Didier Seeuws. "There is a travel ban but there are exceptions
for international meetings."
