NewsGhana, Latest Updates and Breaking News of Ghana, Roger A. Agana, https:\/\/www.newsghana.com.gh\/mahama-to-feature-at-london-africa-debate-closing-reception\/President John Dramani Mahama will serve as Guest of Honour at The Africa Debate 2026, London\u2019s premier investment forum, as Invest Africa, the Mayor of London and FirstBank United Kingdom (UK) jointly host a Closing Reception on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at The Crypt, Guildhall in the City of London.
\nNow in its 12th edition, The Africa Debate 2026 will take place at the historic Guildhall and features President Mahama alongside ministerial keynotes and high-level plenaries bringing together leaders from across Africa and the global investment community.
\nThe forum convenes senior investors, policymakers and corporate leaders around Africa\u2019s structural leverage across critical minerals, energy, trade and the continent\u2019s fast-growing workforce and consumer market.
\nThe Closing Reception will bridge The Africa Debate and the Mayor of London\u2019s inaugural London-Africa Business Summit, which follows the forum. Africa currently accounts for 1.25 per cent of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into London, and Mayor Sadiq Khan has identified expanding ties with the continent as central to the capital\u2019s international trade ambitions and job creation goals.
\nRemarks at the reception will be delivered by Olukorede K.O. Adenowo, Chief Executive Officer of FirstBank UK, and Howard Dawber OBE, Deputy Mayor for Business and Growth, who will attend on behalf of the Mayor.
\nAdenowo said FirstBank UK \u201cremains firmly committed to connecting the continent with global capital markets,\u201d describing the event as an important opportunity to foster partnerships that drive progress along the Africa-UK economic corridor.
\nThis year\u2019s agenda explores how strategic partnerships can be redefined across trade, finance, energy transition, critical minerals and digital innovation, shaping the next phase of investment, industrialisation and sustainable growth across the continent.
\nGhana\u2019s inclusion in the agenda reflects the country\u2019s growing profile as an investment destination. The London-Africa Business Summit builds on Mayor Khan\u2019s July 2025 trade mission to Africa, which included visits to Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa to champion London as an investment hub.
\nThe Closing Reception is by invitation only and open to delegates of The Africa Debate 2026 and the London-Africa Business Forum.
