Zelensky stresses 'win-win' cooperation with France after Le Pen comments

The French Ambassador to Ghana, Diarra Dimé-Labille, expressed France's commitment to bolstering defense cooperation with Ghana. During a visit to the Ghana Armed Forces headquarters, she discussed potential areas of collaboration, including aviation and military training, regional security, and language instruction. The ambassador highlighted the significance of Ghana's acquisition of French-made helicopters and an executive jet, and praised Ghanaian peacekeepers for their service in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Recognizing Ghana's 48-year contribution to UNIFIL, she expressed concern about the mission's pending mandate expiration in 2027. France has offered to train French-language instructors to support the teaching of the language in Ghana. The Ghana Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General William Agyapong, thanked the ambassador for the visit and commended France for its ongoing support of the Ghana Armed Forces, particularly in training.

He also announced the establishment of the Office of Defence Cooperation to strengthen bilateral defense collaboration between the two nations.
