President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is expected to arrive in Ghana on Wednesday, April 1, for a three-day state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.
A statement issued by the Government of Ghana on Tuesday, March 31, indicated that President Mnangagwa will touch down at the Kotoka International Airport at 3:00 p.m., where he will be received by President John Dramani Mahama with full military honours.
The ceremony will include an inspection of a guard of honour mounted by the Ghana Armed Forces and a 21-gun salute.
Later in the evening, President Mahama will host a state banquet in honour of his Zimbabwean counterpart, underscoring the longstanding ties of friendship and cooperation between Accra and Harare.
Central to the visit will be high-level bilateral talks scheduled to take place at the Peduase Lodge. The discussions will be preceded by a private tête-à-tête between the two leaders, after which they will lead their respective delegations in broader engagements focused on strengthening collaboration across key sectors.
According to the statement, the talks will explore opportunities in trade, tourism, agriculture, health, sanitation, anti-corruption efforts, and strategies to address unemployment in both countries.
The engagements are expected to culminate in the signing and exchange of several Memoranda of Understanding covering areas of mutual interest.
As part of his itinerary, President Mnangagwa will tour the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre and the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant, where he will receive briefings on Ghana’s advancements in healthcare delivery and waste management technologies.
He will also visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park to lay a wreath at the tomb of Ghana’s founding president, Kwame Nkrumah.
President Mnangagwa is expected to depart Ghana on Friday, April 3, with full departure honours at the Jubilee Lounge, bringing the state visit to a close.
