President John Dramani Mahama is set to host Zimbabwean leader Emmerson Mnangagwa for a three-day state visit to Ghana beginning April 1, 2026, as both nations seek to deepen bilateral ties across key sectors.
According to a statement from the Presidency Communications Office on Tuesday March 31, President Emerson Mnangagwa will arrive at the Kotoka International Airport at 3:00 PM, where he will be received with full military honours, including a guard of honour and a 21-gun salute.
A state banquet will be hosted later in the evening by President Mahama in honour of his guest, highlighting the longstanding diplomatic relations between Ghana and Zimbabwe.
The highlight of the visit will be bilateral talks at the Peduase Lodge, preceded by a private meeting between the two leaders.
Discussions are expected to focus on strengthening cooperation in trade, tourism, health, agriculture, sanitation, anti-corruption efforts and tackling unemployment.
The visit will also see the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding aimed at advancing mutual interests between the two countries.
As part of his itinerary, President Mnangagwa will tour the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre and the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant to receive briefings on Ghana’s progress in healthcare delivery and waste management technologies.
He will also pay homage at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, where he is expected to lay a wreath at the mausoleum of Ghana’s founding president.
President Mnangagwa will depart Ghana on April 3 following a farewell ceremony at the Jubilee Lounge.
