Ghana's Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, concluded his visit to Canada after engaging in fruitful discussions with Canadian Secretary of State for International Development, Randeep Sarai. The Secretary, known for his affinity towards Ghana, chose to visit the country immediately following his appointment last year. The talks led to several tangible outcomes.
The two nations plan to establish a partnership aimed at facilitating labor mobility and empowering the youth, particularly in fields such as digital literacy, standardized certification for global employment, energy transition, and Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Additionally, they will strengthen their cooperation at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, aiming to boost regional stability and counter-terrorism efforts.
Canada has also pledged to provide technical assistance for the creation of Ghana’s Women’s Development Bank. The nations agreed to work together on modern environmental protection and reclamation efforts, given Ghana's commitment to sustainable mining practices. Furthermore, they will coordinate a larger Africa-Canada dialogue next year, focusing on shared development priorities including trade, industrialization, railway development, value addition, and a shift away from aid. Ghana expressed its enduring strong ties with Canada.
