Ghana and Cuba review bilateral relations including assessing our longstanding health cooperation
Mr Ablakwa described the engagement as an excellent opportunity to renew Ghana's solidarity with Cuba
The Minister of Foreign Affairs for Ghana, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, recently met with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Eduardo Rodríguez Parrilla, during the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session. This meeting provided an excellent opportunity for the two nations to renew their solidarity and discuss various aspects of their bilateral relations.
Ablakwa expressed Ghana's call for the unconditional lifting of sanctions against Cuba, as President Mahama had previously stated during his UN address. The two ministers also reviewed the strong bilateral ties between Ghana and Cuba, with a particular focus on their longstanding health cooperation. This cooperation involves Cuban medical volunteers working in Ghana and the training of Ghanaian medical doctors in Cuba.
Ablakwa shared that the Government of Ghana was pleased to confirm that the relief items donated by Cuba had arrived in good condition and had made a significant impact on the local population. He praised Cuba for their remarkable resilience and extended congratulations to Cuba on the centenary anniversary of Comrade Fidel Castro.
