Honduran President Porfirio Lobo has departed on a trip to Asia where he will visit so-called "charter cities" aimed at improving investment and economic development, according to officials.
Lobo is heading a 60-member delegation that will visit South Korea, Singapore and Kuwait.
He is accompanied by business and congressional leaders, Tegucigalpa Mayor Ricardo Alvarez and his wife, Rosa Elena.
The delegation was to arrive Sunday in Seoul and visit Incheon Compact Smart City later that day.
The delegation is looking at charter cities that create a special administrative status, making investment easier.
The visit also includes a meeting with Singapore President Sellapan Rama Nathan and a stop in Kuwait for the 20th anniversary of the ousting of Iraqi troops from the emirate.
