President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in London for a high-level working visit aimed at strengthening economic relations between Ghana and the United Kingdom, promoting investment opportunities, and engaging the Ghanaian diaspora.
The President was received on arrival by Lord Katz MBE of the Royal Household, H.E. Gordon Wetherell, Special Representative of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, H.E. Sabah Zita Benson.

As part of his engagements, President Mahama is expected to meet members of the Ghanaian community in the UK at a diaspora town hall meeting organised by the Ghana High Commission in London.
On Monday, he will officially open the Ghana–UK Investment Summit at Raffles London, where government officials, business leaders and investors are expected to explore opportunities for investment and economic cooperation.
The President will also visit the London Stock Exchange, where he is scheduled to ring the opening bell to mark the start of trading and showcase Ghana’s participation in global financial markets.
His itinerary further includes an address at Chatham House and a keynote speech at the 12th Africa Debate at Guildhall, London.
