STATEMENT: President Mahama pays high-level working visit to London.

President John Dramani Mahama is in London for a high-level visit featuring a royal audience with King Charles III and a breakfast meeting with British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer.

Lord Katz MBE from the Royal Household, H.E. Gordon Wetherell, Special Representative of the Secretary of State for FCDO, and H.E. Sabah Zita Benson, Ghana's High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland, were at the airport to welcome him to London.

Building on this welcome, the visit will deepen long-standing bilateral relations between Ghana and the United Kingdom, position Ghana as a premier investment destination, and actively engage with the Ghanaian diaspora.

As part of his itinerary, President Mahama will tonight attend a diaspora town hall meeting hosted by the Ghana High Commission in London. On Monday morning, he opens the Ghana-UK Investment Summit at Raffles. Central to the visit, the investment summit is designed to attract foreign direct investment and foster partnerships between Ghanaian entrepreneurs and British investors.

He will also demonstrate Ghana's growing presence in global financial markets as a guest at the London Stock Exchange, ringing the bell to mark the official start of trading. President Mahama will deliver an address at Chatham House and a keynote at the 12th Africa Debate at the Guildhall, London.

The president will end his visit to London on the 3rd of June.
