Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced that the number of Russian scholarships available to Ghanaian students has been doubled from 120 to 240 each academic year. This increase in scholarships was announced during Ablakwa's official visit to Russia. According to a statement on Ablakwa's Facebook page, these full scholarships will be directed towards courses in artificial intelligence, engineering, petroleum sciences, and pharmaceuticals.
This expansion aims to offer more opportunities for Ghanaian students to pursue education in these critical fields.
Furthermore, Ghana and Russia have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in Ghana's peaceful nuclear energy program and green transition objectives. Ghana is aiming to diversify its energy mix by incorporating 700 megawatts of nuclear power. In addition to this, the two countries will enhance their collaboration on key global issues such as counterterrorism, climate change, and the reforms of the United Nations.
These agreements represent significant progress in Ghana-Russia relations, particularly in the areas of education, energy, climate action, and international cooperation. As a token of goodwill, Ablakwa presented the Russian Foreign Minister with Ghana's traditional smock, locally known as ‘fugu’.
