President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, will pay a three-day State Visit to the Republic of Zambia from February 4 to 6, 2026, at the invitation of his Zambian counterpart, President Hakainde Hichilema.
President Mahama will be accompanied by Her Excellency Mrs. Lordina Dramani Mahama, First Lady of the Republic.
During the visit, the two leaders will hold bilateral talks 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 President Mahama’s address to the National Assembly of Zambia, where he is expected to share Ghana’s vision for a more integrated and prosperous Africa. He will also meet with members of the Ghanaian community in Lusaka to interact with compatriots living and working in Zambia.
Additionally, a Ghana-Zambia Business Dialogue, co-chaired by Presidents Mahama and Hichilema, 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.
President Mahama’s State Visit underscores his unwavering commitment to building an Africa seamlessly connected through enhanced transport infrastructure, expanded trade linkages, and the free movement of people and goods. He remains a strong advocate for the accelerated implementation of the AfCFTA, which he believes is critical to transforming African economies, creating sustainable employment opportunities for the continent’s youth, and positioning Africa competitively in the global economy.
Prior to the Zambia trip, President Mahama will depart Accra on Sunday, February 1, 2026, for Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), at the invitation of His Highness the Ruler of the UAE, to participate in the World Governments Summit 2026, scheduled for February 2 to 4.
The President will travel to Dubai aboard a special aircraft provided by the Ruler of the UAE, which will also transport him and his delegation to Zambia to commence the State Visit.
