Diplomatic mission: Faure Gnassingbé heads to Kampala for high-level talks with Museveni
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbé, will embark on an official visit to Kampala at the invitation of Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. This diplomatic engagement aims to deepen bilateral cooperation between the two African nations.
Key discussions on regional stability and African integration
During his stay, President Gnassingbé will hold a private meeting with President Museveni. The talks are expected to focus on critical issues such as regional peace, security dynamics across Africa, and the strengthening of continental integration. These discussions come at a time when the Great Lakes region continues to face persistent challenges, including political tensions and cross-border conflicts.
Ceremonial participation and continental presence
Faure Gnassingbé will also attend the official swearing-in ceremony of President Museveni, who secured re-election in the January 15 general elections. The event, set to take place in Kampala, will see the participation of numerous African heads of state, government officials, and representatives from international organizations.
Long-standing cooperation on security and regional challenges
According to Togo’s presidency, this visit underscores the shared commitment of both countries to strengthen political and diplomatic ties. Lomé and Kampala have maintained regular consultations on key African security matters, particularly the ongoing crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where armed violence and humanitarian emergencies have persisted for years.
Reaffirming Africa’s role in global dialogue
Through this diplomatic mission, Togo reinforces its dedication to fostering dialogue, regional stability, and deeper cooperation among African nations, aligning with broader efforts to shape a more united and resilient continent.
