In a move that will reduce checkout friction and serve international travellers, cross-border shoppers and businesses transacting across multiple markets.
Ghana and the Netherlands have reached an agreement to collaborate in the fight against illicit drugs and drug markets. The special Letter of Intent was signed by the Ghanaian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and the Dutch Minister of Justice and Security, D.M. Van Weel, during the latter's visit to Ghana. The agreement expands upon the Accra Call to Action and aims to strengthen international cooperation in combating the illicit drug trade.
Ablakwa emphasized that the goal is to lead globally in addressing this issue, which he considers a significant threat to young lives, public health, the rule of law, and human rights. He expressed optimism that robust international collaboration will successfully eliminate drug markets flooding their nations with cocaine, synthetic substances, and criminal profits.
