Ghana is set to host the President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, for a three-day state visit from April 1 to April 3, 2026, aimed at strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries.
According to a statement from the Presidency, President Mnangagwa will be received at the Accra International Airport by John Dramani Mahama with full military honours, including a Guard of Honour mounted by the Ghana Armed Forces and a 21-gun salute. A State Banquet will be held later in the evening in his honour.
The visit will feature bilateral talks at Peduase Lodge, following a private meeting between the two leaders. Discussions are expected to focus on cooperation in trade, tourism, health, sanitation, agriculture, anti-corruption efforts and job creation. The engagements will conclude with the signing of Memoranda of Understanding to formalise areas of collaboration.
As part of his itinerary, President Mnangagwa will tour the Sweden Ghana Medical Centre and the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant to observe developments in healthcare delivery and waste management. He will also visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park to lay a wreath in honour of Ghana’s founding President.
The Zimbabwean leader is expected to depart Ghana on April 3 with full departure honours at the Jubilee Lounge, marking the end of the official visit, which is anticipated to deepen cooperation between Accra and Harare.
