The President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, arrived in Ghana on Sunday evening for a three-day state visit aimed at deepening bilateral relations between the two countries.
President Steinmeier, who touched down at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra, was warmly received by Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and the German Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Frederik Landshöft. He is accompanied by a high-level delegation of government officials and business leaders.
The visit marks another milestone in Ghana-Germany relations, which have spanned decades of cooperation in trade, investment, education, and renewable energy.
According to the official programme, President Steinmeier will on Monday, November 3, 2025, hold bilateral talks with President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House in Accra. The day’s events will begin with an official welcome ceremony featuring the inspection of a full military Guard of Honour at the Forecourt of the Presidency.
The two leaders are expected to hold a private meeting before leading their respective delegations into discussions focused on strengthening economic and development partnerships. Key agenda items include investment promotion, technological collaboration, green energy initiatives, and support for Ghana’s industrial transformation agenda.
A State Luncheon will be hosted later in the day at the Presidential Banquet Hall in honour of President Steinmeier and his entourage.
The German leader will continue his visit on Tuesday, November 4, with a trip to Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, where he is scheduled to pay a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace.
While in Kumasi, President Steinmeier will participate in a series of engagements highlighting Ghana-Germany cooperation in education, culture, and sustainable development before departing the country later that evening.
