Ghana, Zambia Presidents Hold Bilateral Talks During 3-Day Visit

Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has arrived in Zambia for a high-level diplomatic engagement with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema.

The Ghanaian head of state arrived in Zambia on Wednesday for a three-day state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties, trade, and investment.

He was accompanied by Her Excellency Mrs Lordina Dramani Mahama and was received by President Hakainde Hichilema and the First Lady of Zambia at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport.

During the visit, both leaders will hold talks focused on enhancing diplomatic relations, promoting trade, and exploring cooperation under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

A key highlight of the visit will be an address to the National Assembly of Zambia, where the Ghanaian leader is expected to share his country’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.

The visit, which will run from February 4 to 6, 2026, forms part of a broader commitment to regional cooperation and improved relations between both nations. President Mahama, after his engagements in Zambia, is expected to attend the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
