Canada is ready to work closely with Ghana in key sectors, including energy, critical minerals, trade, and dev't - Prime Minister
President Mahama urged Prime Minister Carney to help amplify Africa’s demand for reform of the existing international financial architecture, which is not favourable to Africa and the Global South
Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama plans to champion a trade collaboration between Africa and the Caribbean when Ghana takes over the chairmanship of the African Union (AU) next year. During his presidency, trade has emerged as the most promising area of cooperation between the two regions, which he aims to advance. Mahama emphasized that this focus would be particularly on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) whose protocols have been signed by a majority of African countries.
He also revealed that when Ghana assumes the chair, they intend to explore how to link the AfCFTA and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), effectively creating a larger trading bloc than the current one.
