MASERU – President Duma Gideon Boko of Botswana met with His Majesty King Letsie III and Prime Minister Sam Ntsokoane Matekane during a working visit to Lesotho on July 15, 2025.
The visit included high-level engagements at the Royal Palace and the State House, where both countries reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening ties. A major highlight was the signing of a Bi-National Commission (BNC) Agreement, replacing the former Joint Commission on Technical and Economic Cooperation (JCTEC) with a more structured cooperation platform between heads of state and government.
The agreement focuses on expanding collaboration in water and energy, trade and investment, agriculture, natural resources, education, security, and defence. 
President Boko’s visit, which runs until July 17, also features a visit to the Lesotho–Botswana Water Transfer Project and attendance at King Letsie III’s birthday celebrations in Berea.
