 Zambia, Ghana latest African nations to scrap visa for citizens


Ghana and Zambia have agreed to implement visa-free travel for citizens of both countries in a landmark deal as Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama visits Lusaka, where he was received by President Hakainde Hichilema, TRT Afrika reported.


Mahama’s three-day state visit to Zambia is aimed at deepening diplomatic ties, boosting economic cooperation, and strengthening people-to-people relations.


The scrapping of visas for citizens of both countries was one of the key priorities.


This is the first-ever such arrangement between Zambia, a country in Southern Africa, and Ghana, which is in West Africa.


Ghana is one of five African countries that have offered visa-free entry to all Africans.


The other countries where Africans don’t require a visa to enter are Rwanda, Seychelles, The Gambia, and Benin.


This comes as governments move to ease travel and free trade across the continent, aimed at boosting socio-economic integration in recent years, although progress has been slow.
