Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé is scheduled to undertake an official visit to Kampala on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, following an invitation extended by Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. This significant diplomatic engagement aims to bolster the cooperative relations between the Republic of Togo and Uganda.

During his stay, the esteemed Togolese leader will engage in a private, one-on-one discussion with his Ugandan counterpart. These crucial deliberations are anticipated to center on vital issues such as peace, regional security dynamics, and the broader agenda of African integration, particularly in light of ongoing tensions within the Great Lakes region.

Furthermore, President Faure Gnassingbé will participate in the official swearing-in ceremony for Yoweri Museveni, who secured re-election in the general elections held on January 15. The solemn event, taking place in Uganda’s capital, is expected to draw numerous African heads of state, high-ranking government officials, and representatives from various international organizations.

According to the Togolese presidency, this visit underscores both nations’ shared commitment to deepening their political and diplomatic partnership. Lomé and Kampala already maintain consistent dialogues on several pressing African security matters, notably the protracted situation in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been grappling with armed conflicts and a severe humanitarian crisis for many years.

Through this high-profile visit, Togo is emphatically reaffirming its dedication to fostering dialogue, ensuring regional stability, and strengthening collaborative efforts among African states.
