Togo’s president faure gnassingbé to visit kampala for key discussions

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Faure Gnassingbé, the esteemed president of Togo, is set to embark on an official visit to Kampala. This significant diplomatic journey comes at the direct invitation of Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and underscores a mutual commitment to fortifying the collaborative ties between the Republic of Togo and Uganda.

During his stay in the Ugandan capital, the Togolese head of state will engage in crucial one-on-one discussions with his Ugandan counterpart. These high-level deliberations are anticipated to encompass vital subjects such as continental peace, regional security dynamics, and the broader agenda of African integration, especially pertinent given the ongoing volatilities within the Great Lakes region.

President Gnassingbé is also scheduled to attend the official inauguration ceremony for President Yoweri Museveni, who secured re-election in the general ballot held on January 15. This solemn occasion, slated for Uganda’s capital, expects the presence of numerous African heads of state, senior governmental figures, and delegates from various international organizations.

Through this significant diplomatic engagement, Togo unequivocally reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fostering constructive dialogue, promoting regional stability, and strengthening cooperative frameworks among African states.
