President John Dramani Mahama is expected to engage the Ghanaian diaspora in London later today, Sunday, as part of his ongoing working visit to the United Kingdom aimed at strengthening economic ties and promoting Ghana’s development agenda.
The upcoming Town Hall Meeting, hosted by the Ghana High Commission in London, will provide a platform for dialogue on Ghana’s development priorities, investment opportunities, and the critical role Ghanaians abroad can play in driving national transformation.
The engagement forms part of a broader high-level visit that began with the President’s arrival in London, where he was received by Lord Katz MBE of the Royal Household, H.E. Gordon Wetherell, Special Representative of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, H.E. Sabah Zita Benson.
According to a statement from the Presidency, the visit—spanning several key engagements—is focused on deepening the longstanding bilateral relationship between Ghana and the UK while positioning Ghana as a preferred destination for foreign investment.
Beyond the scheduled diaspora interaction, President Mahama’s itinerary includes a royal audience with King Charles III and a breakfast meeting with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
On Monday, the President is expected to officially open the Ghana-UK Investment Summit at Raffles London, a major event designed to attract foreign direct investment and foster partnerships between Ghanaian entrepreneurs and British investors.
He is also scheduled to visit the London Stock Exchange, where he will ring the opening bell, symbolizing Ghana’s growing presence in global financial markets.
The visit will further feature key policy engagements, including an address at Chatham House and a keynote speech at the 12th Africa Debate at the Guildhall.
President Mahama is expected to conclude the visit on June 3, marking a significant step in his administration’s efforts to strengthen international partnerships, attract investment, and advance Ghana’s economic transformation agenda.
