Ghana, UAE chart new course for cooperation in AI, energy, and defence
Ghana and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have committed to deepening their relationship in the fields of trade and manpower development.
This includes potential collaboration in areas such as renewable energy, artificial intelligence, education, healthcare, aviation, defence, and labour export.
The move follows a two-day official visit by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, to reinforce the ties between the two countries.
“During the visit, the Minister held bilateral talks with His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the UAE; H.E. Sheikh Shakhboot Bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Her Excellency Lana Nusseibeh, Assistant Minister for Political Affairs.
“The discussions centred on ways to further strengthen diplomatic relations, broaden areas of cooperation, and address regional and global challenges of mutual interest,” a statement from Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Friday, May 16.
The Foreign Affairs Minister also met with the UAE Minister for Foreign Trade and Investments, as well as leading executives from the Emirati business community.
According to the ministry, a key outcome of the visit was the signing of an Agreement on Political Consultations, which will serve as a framework for structured dialogue and sustained engagement between the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs.
