The President of the Republic of Botswana, HE Seretse Khama Ian Khama, will visit Australia from 1 to 4 March.
Botswana is a long-standing democracy, which has benefited from liberal economic policies and openness to investment. Australia and Botswana share a warm and productive relationship, with growing linkages in trade, investment and education, and an expanding program of development assistance.
President Khama's visit to Australia provides a valuable opportunity to increase collaboration on key international and regional matters, including climate change and Zimbabwe, and to discuss new opportunities for economic, political and development cooperation.
This is President Khama's first official visit to Australia. He will visit Canberra and Sydney.
