Mahama Departs Ghana on Official Trip
President John Dramani Mahama has departed the country for the scheduled visits to the United Arab Emirates and Zambia.
He left the country on Sunday evening, first for Dubai, where he will participate in the World Government Summit 2026.
He was seen off last night by the Vice President, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who will be in charge of the affairs of the country in accordance with the constitution.
From the UAE, Mahama will begin a three-day State Visit to the Republic of Zambia from February 4-7 at the invitation of President Hakainde Hichilema.
As part of the visit, President Mahama will hold bilateral talks with President Hichilema on matters of mutual interest, including strengthening diplomatic relations, enhancing trade and investment cooperation, and exploring collaborative opportunities within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
A key highlight of the visit will be an address to the National Assembly of Zambia, where he is expected to share Ghana’s vision for a more integrated and prosperous Africa.
President Mahama will also meet with members of the Ghanaian community in Lusaka to interact with compatriots living and working in Zambia.
There will also be a Ghana-Zambia Business Dialogue, co-chaired by Presidents Mahama and Hichilema. The dialogue will provide a platform for Ghana to showcase its digital technologies and fintech services to Zambian businesses and government institutions, fostering economic partnerships and knowledge exchange between the two countries.
