President John Dramani Mahama is set to depart Accra on Sunday for a four-day working visit to the Republic of Korea, with discussions expected to centre on diplomatic engagement, economic cooperation, and cultural exchange.

The trip, scheduled to run from March 10-14, 2026, will see the Ghanaian leader hold high-level talks with his Korean counterpart, President Lee Jae Myung, as well as the Speaker of the Korean National Assembly, Woo Won-shik. 

These meetings are anticipated to provide a platform for strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations, with potential areas of collaboration expected to feature prominently on the agenda.

In a statement issued Sunday, the Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, outlined a packed itinerary that blends diplomatic protocol with industrial and academic engagements. 

Among the highlights is a ship-naming ceremony at the prestigious Hyundai Shipyard in Ulsan, a facility renowned globally for its maritime engineering prowess. 

President Mahama is also scheduled to address a conferment ceremony at Yonsei University, one of South Korea's most distinguished institutions of higher learning.

The visit will also include moments of cultural connection, with the President expected to host an evening with Ghanaians residing, studying, and working in South Korea. The gathering will provide an opportunity for the diaspora community to engage directly with the Ghanaian leader and discuss issues affecting their lives abroad.

Rounding off the official engagements will be a dinner meeting with chief executives and business owners, a session likely to focus on investment opportunities and the strengthening of trade relations between the two countries.

The presidential delegation is expected to return to Accra following the conclusion of the visit, with officials expressing optimism that the trip will yield tangible outcomes in Ghana's pursuit of enhanced international partnerships.
