President Petr Pavel of the Czech Republic will embark on a three-day State Visit to Ghana from April 8 to April 10, at the invitation of President John Dramani Mahama.

This official visit marks a diplomatic milestone, being the first time a Czech leader has visited Ghana since ties were established with the former Czechoslovakia in October 1959.

It also represents President Mahama’s first official hosting of a foreign Head of State since resuming office in January 2025.

As part of the programme, President Pavel will hold bilateral meetings with President Mahama, deliver an address at a business forum, and commission a healthcare facility funded by the Czech government.

His visit will also include stops at significant cultural and historical locations, including the Osu Castle and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. In recognition of the visit, President Mahama will host a State Dinner in his honour.

The trip is expected to further deepen cooperation between Ghana and the Czech Republic, with both leaders exploring opportunities in trade, health, and cultural exchange. Further details will be made available as the visit progresses.
