On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Faure Gnassingbé, the President of Togo, will embark on an official visit to Kampala at the invitation of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of Uganda. This high-level diplomatic engagement aims to deepen the bilateral cooperation between the two nations, fostering stronger political and economic ties.
The Togolese leader is scheduled to hold a private meeting with his Ugandan counterpart, where discussions will likely focus on regional peace, security challenges, and African integration. These topics are particularly relevant given the ongoing tensions in the Great Lakes region, which continue to impact stability across Africa.
Key discussions and regional commitments
During his stay, Faure Gnassingbé will also attend the official swearing-in ceremony of Yoweri Museveni, who was re-elected in the January 15 general elections. The event is expected to gather numerous African heads of state, government officials, and international representatives, underscoring its significance in regional diplomacy.
According to Togolese presidency sources, this visit highlights the shared determination of Togo and Uganda to strengthen their political and diplomatic cooperation. The two countries have a history of collaborative efforts on critical African security issues, including the ongoing crisis in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where armed violence and humanitarian challenges persist.
A commitment to African stability
This diplomatic mission reaffirms Togo‘s dedication to regional dialogue, stability, and cross-border collaboration. By engaging in high-level discussions with Uganda, Lomé seeks to reinforce its role in promoting peace and economic integration across the continent.
