President John Mahama has arrived in London for a high-level working visit aimed at deepening economic relations between Ghana and the United Kingdom, attracting foreign direct investment, and engaging the Ghanaian diaspora.

Upon arrival, the President was received by Lord Katz MBE of the Royal Household, the UK Foreign Office’s Special Representative Gordon Wetherell, and Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson.

According to a statement issued by the Presidency, the trip is intended to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two nations and position Ghana as a preferred investment destination. The itinerary includes a royal audience with King Charles III and a breakfast meeting with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

On Monday, President Mahama will open the Ghana-UK Investment Summit at Raffles London, an event designed to connect Ghanaian entrepreneurs and British investors to promote partnerships and expand business opportunities.

The President is also scheduled to visit the London Stock Exchange, where he will ring the opening bell to mark the start of trading. Additionally, he will address policy and business leaders at Chatham House and deliver a keynote speech at the 12th Africa Debate at London’s Guildhall.

As part of the engagement strategy, President Mahama will participate in a town hall meeting hosted by the Ghana High Commission in London to engage directly with members of the Ghanaian diaspora.

The working visit forms part of broader governmental efforts to enhance economic cooperation and showcase Ghana's opportunities to the international business community. President Mahama is expected to conclude his visit on June 3.
