On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Faure Gnassingbé, President of the Togolese Council, will embark on an official visit to Kampala at the invitation of Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. This diplomatic mission underscores the deepening ties between Togo and Uganda.
The Togolese leader will engage in a private meeting with his Ugandan counterpart, focusing on regional security, peacebuilding, and African integration. These discussions come at a critical time for the Great Lakes region, where ongoing instability continues to pose challenges.
The visit coincides with the swearing-in ceremony of President Museveni, who secured re-election in the general elections held on January 15. The event in Kampala will draw numerous African heads of state, government officials, and international organization representatives.
According to the Togolese presidency, this visit highlights the mutual commitment of both nations to strengthen political and diplomatic collaboration. Lomé and Kampala have maintained regular consultations on key African security matters, particularly the crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where armed violence and humanitarian emergencies have persisted for years.
By prioritizing this visit, Togo reaffirms its dedication to fostering dialogue, regional stability, and enhanced interstate cooperation across Africa.
