President Mahama arrived in Lusaka on Wednesday, February 4, and was welcomed at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport by Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema.
Officials say the agreement will enable citizens of both countries to travel freely without entry permits, removing administrative hurdles that have long complicated movement. Ablakwa noted that the policy is expected to facilitate business, tourism, education, and professional exchanges.
The visa exemption reflects a broader effort by Ghana and Zambia to deepen cooperation, improve connectivity, and promote greater mobility across the African continent.
