His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, will commence his State Visit to the Republic of Belarus today, Friday, June 5, 2026. His Excellency Aleksandr Grigorievich Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus, has invited me to visit.
The purpose of the visit is to improve Ghana-Belarusian diplomatic relations. Additionally, it will investigate new avenues for technical, agricultural, and commercial collaboration.
President Mahama will place a wreath at the Victory Monument when he arrives in Minsk.
This gesture pays tribute to Belarusian partisans and members of the Soviet Army who bravely fought in World War II.
A high-level encounter between the two heads of state will be one of the main highlights. There will be confidential bilateral discussions between Presidents Mahama and Lukashenko.
An extended diplomatic meeting with ministers and high-ranking officials from both nations will come next.
Strategic alliances in commerce, education, and agriculture will be the main topics of debate.
President Mahama will visit Brest, one of Belarus’s most ancient western cities, as part of his industrialisation and food security program. He will visit one of the biggest milk, cheese, and baby product processors in the area.
It is anticipated that this visit will promote knowledge exchange and possible collaborations in the field of agro-processing.
President Mahama will also pay his respects at the location of the 1941 Soviet defence against Nazi forces at the Brest Hero Fortress Memorial Complex while he is in Brest.
A visit to Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is part of the schedule. It is one of the last primaeval woods in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The two nations’ dedication to environmental preservation is demonstrated by this visit.
At least four historic bilateral agreements will be signed during the State Visit.
These accords aim to promote institutional cooperation and reciprocal development between Ghana and Belarus.
On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, President Mahama is scheduled to leave Belarus and return to Accra.
