Mnangagwa arrives in Ghana for State Visit

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in Accra for a State Visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between Zimbabwe and Ghana.

Mnangagwa announced his arrival through his official X account.

Upon landing at Kotoka International Airport, he was welcomed by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, whom he described as a "brother", expressing gratitude for the warm reception.

"I have just arrived in Accra for a historic State Visit to the Republic of Ghana. My sincere thanks to my brother, His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, for the warm and brotherly welcome at Kotoka International Airport," he posted.

The visit is expected to deepen ties between the two nations, which share a long‑standing relationship rooted in their liberation histories. Officials say the focus is now shifting towards enhancing economic cooperation and development.

Through the Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation (JPCC), Zimbabwe and Ghana are set to sign several agreements covering key sectors such as agriculture, trade and waste management.

Mnangagwa is also scheduled to hold high‑level talks with Mahama at Peduase Lodge, and to tour selected industrial and heritage sites.

The State Visit underscores a broader push to strengthen South-South cooperation, with both countries seeking to expand mutually beneficial partnerships.
