Ghana’s President John Mahama has embarked on a high-profile diplomatic tour, traveling to Dubai and Zambia on a special aircraft provided by the President of the United Arab Emirates. According to Citi FM, Mahama’s trip is aimed at strengthening Ghana’s relations with the UAE and Zambia, as well as promoting African trade and integration.
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto explained that world leaders are eager to host Mahama, citing the former President’s influence and reputation on the global stage. “World leaders are doing whatever they can to airlift him to their countries and send him wherever he has to be next,” Okudzeto said.
Mahama’s trip began with the World Governments Summit in Dubai, where he participated in discussions on governance, innovation, and global challenges. He was then scheduled to travel to Zambia for a three-day state visit, where he would meet with President Hakainde Hichilema and address the Zambian National Assembly.
According to Ghana News, Mahama’s visit to Zambia is focused on strengthening bilateral ties, promoting trade, and exploring opportunities for Ghanaian businesses. The visit is also expected to highlight Ghana’s vision for a more integrated and prosperous Africa.
The trip has sparked interest and debate, with some questioning the use of a private jet provided by a foreign government. However, supporters argue that the visit is crucial for Ghana’s economic interests and regional diplomacy.
Mahama’s diplomatic efforts are seen as a key aspect of his continued influence in Ghanaian politics and African affairs.
