President John Dramani Mahama has travelled to Alamein, Egypt, for the Eighth African Union Mid-Year Coordination Summit and the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum.
The engagements, held over the October 3–4 weekend, bring together African leaders, business executives and financial institutions to discuss economic integration, sustainable development and investment partnerships.
According to a statement from the Presidency, Mahama’s program included a keynote address at a plenary session titled “Investing in Health: Manufacturing and Regional Value Chains.”
The address was intended to highlight healthcare’s potential as an economic sector, with opportunities for investment, local manufacturing and stronger production networks across Africa.
The Alamein Africa Forum’s opening program featured an address by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, followed by a keynote speech from Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote.
The heads-of-state coordination meeting was scheduled for Sunday, October 4, alongside bilateral engagements involving President Mahama.
Mahama and el-Sisi met on Sunday to discuss trade, investment and cooperation ahead of Ghana’s 2027 AU chairmanship.
