Czech President Petr Pavel is set to arrive in Ghana today (April 8, 2025) for a two-day official visit, marking the first time in over six decades that a Czech or Czechoslovak head of state has visited the West African nation.
The visit is expected to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries. President Pavel, who arrives in Accra following a two-day visit to Mauritania, will be formally received at the Jubilee House, the seat of Ghana’s presidency.
During his visit, he will hold bilateral talks with President John Dramani Mahama, focusing on economic partnership, trade, and investment opportunities.
The discussions are expected to set the stage for increased collaboration between Ghana and the Czech Republic, particularly in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
On Wednesday, President Pavel is scheduled to participate in several key engagements, including the opening of a Ghana-Czech business forum aimed at fostering partnerships between companies from both nations. He will also officially inaugurate the Czech House, a new diplomatic and cultural centre that will serve as a hub for bilateral cooperation.
In a show of Czech commitment to Ghana’s healthcare sector, President Pavel will attend the commissioning of a hospital built by a Czech firm, highlighting Prague’s growing involvement in African development projects.
The Czech delegation is expected to depart Accra on Thursday morning, with President Pavel scheduled to return to Prague later in the evening.
