Faure gnassingbé’s diplomatic mission to kampala strengthens Togo-Uganda ties
Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé is scheduled to undertake an official visit to Kampala, Uganda, on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. This high-level diplomatic engagement comes at the direct invitation of Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and is primarily aimed at bolstering the cooperative relationship between Togo and Uganda.
During his stay, the Togolese head of state is slated to hold a private, one-on-one discussion with his Ugandan counterpart. Their deliberations are anticipated to encompass crucial subjects such as regional peace, security dynamics, and the broader agenda of African integration, particularly in light of the ongoing instabilities within the Great Lakes region.
President Gnassingbé will also be a distinguished guest at the official swearing-in ceremony for Yoweri Museveni, who secured re-election in the general ballot conducted on January 15. The solemn occasion, set to take place in the Ugandan capital, is expected to draw a significant number of African heads of state, senior government officials, and representatives from various international organizations.
