The President of Czech, Mr. Petr Pavel, is expected in Ghana on Tuesday, (April 8, 2025) for a two-day official visit.
According to the report by Daily Graphic on Tuesday, the visit marks the first time in over six decades that a Czech or Czechoslovak head of state has visited Ghana.
The visit is expected to deepen diplomatic and economic cooperation between the two countries.
President Pavel will be formally received at the Jubilee House, the seat of Ghana’s Presidency and he will later hold bilateral talks with President John Dramani Mahama, on economic partnership, trade, and investment opportunities.
The report added that the historic visit comes as Ghana, a country of 35 million people, continues to attract global interest for its political stability and growing economy.

During the visit, the Czech President will officially inaugurate the Czech House, a new diplomatic and cultural centre that will serve as a hub for bilateral cooperation.
President Pavel will also attend the commissioning of a hospital built by a Czech firm, highlighting Prague’s growing footprint in African development projects.
According to the report, the Czech delegation is expected to depart Accra on Thursday morning, with President Pavel scheduled to return to Prague later in the evening.
