President Mahama is scheduled to return to Accra on Sunday, 2 November 2025, after concluding his engagements abroad.

The statement from the Ministry of Government Communications emphasized that the President’s participation in these events aligns with Ghana’s foreign policy objectives of fostering peace, deepening bilateral relations, and enhancing the nation’s visibility in international affairs.

As Ghana continues to play a pivotal role in African and global diplomacy, the President’s engagements in Paris and Cairo are expected to further consolidate the country’s standing as a trusted partner in peace and cultural cooperation.
