President John Mahama has arrived in Moscow, Russia, from Ethiopia to participate in the 3rd Russia-Africa Forum, hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The President is expected to join other African leaders for the Economic and Humanitarian Forum and plenary sessions of the summit, which provide a platform to strengthen cooperation between Russia and African countries.
As part of his engagements, President Mahama will visit a Kente exhibition organised by the Russia-Ghana Parliamentary Forum and hold high-level bilateral talks with his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin.
Two Russian universities, the Russian University of Transport and the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, are also expected to confer honorary doctorate degrees on President Mahama at separate ceremonies during his visit.
The President is further scheduled to meet with representatives of Russian businesses and state institutions to explore opportunities for cooperation and strengthen bilateral relations between Ghana and Russia.
