President John Dramani Mahama has announced that Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa will arrive in Ghana for a three-day State Visit from 1 to 3 April.

In a statement shared on his official social media handles, President Mahama said he is looking forward to hosting his Zimbabwean counterpart in Accra, describing the visit as a celebration of the deep historical bonds between the two nations.

“The 1 to 3 April visit will celebrate the historic bonds between Ghana and Zimbabwe,” President Mahama wrote.

“We are two countries whose destinies have been intertwined since the liberation struggles that shaped modern Africa.”

The President further noted that Ghana’s steadfast support for Zimbabwe’s independence movement remains a proud legacy that continues to shape bilateral relations between Accra and Harare.

“Welcome to Accra, President Mnangagwa, and let us work to enhance the strategic partnership between our two nations,” he added.

The visit is expected to focus on strengthening cooperation in areas such as trade, agriculture, and mining, with both leaders looking to deepen ties beyond the historical solidarity forged during the liberation era.

President Mnangagwa’s visit comes at a time when Ghana continues to play an active role in African continental affairs, including under the auspices of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
