The UK Prime Minister met Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on 3 November 2026, according to a Downing Street statement. The two leaders opened by noting the contribution of the Ghanaian community in the UK, then discussed the Commonwealth's potential to bring partners together to deliver growth and opportunity.

The Prime Minister set out his vision for resetting the UK's relationship with the Commonwealth, including initiatives on debt service costs for smaller and developing nations, and plans for a structured dialogue with partners and affected communities on the transatlantic slave trade. He welcomed President Mahama's support for that initiative. On Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the leaders discussed ending the bloodshed and the loss of life on both sides, and raised concerns that promises of work were luring young Africans to military training camps and front lines. They reiterated calls for a ceasefire and meaningful peace negotiations.

The leaders also discussed the UK-Ghana friendship and the new growth partnership signed earlier this year. The Prime Minister welcomed Ghana's chairmanship of the African Union next year and said he looked forward to working with President Mahama during the UK's G20 Presidency.
