President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, ahead of the 7th African Union (AU) Mid-Year Coordination Meeting between the African Union and Regional Economic Communities (RECs), scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 13.
The meeting brings together Heads of State and Government, AU Commission officials, and leaders of Africa’s eight recognized RECs to strengthen collaboration on continental integration, economic development, and peace and security.
It also serves as a platform to review progress on the implementation of Agenda 2063 and other key AU initiatives.
President Mahama’s presence at the summit underscores Ghana’s continued commitment to regional cooperation and the AU’s vision for a united and prosperous Africa. He is expected to join other leaders in high-level discussions on strengthening continental governance structures, improving intra-African trade and advancing shared responses to economic and climate-related challenges.
While in Malabo, the President is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with counterparts from across the continent, focusing on deepening Ghana’s diplomatic and economic ties.
The AU Mid-Year Coordination Meeting is one of the most important policy coordination events on the AU calendar, functioning as a strategic platform to align continental and regional efforts and avoid duplication across Africa’s integration agenda.
President Mahama is accompanied by senior government officials and members of Ghana’s AU delegation.
