Ghana and Slovakia begin visa-waiver talks for diplomatic, service passports – Ablakwa
Ghana and Slovakia have agreed to begin talks on a visa waiver agreement for diplomatic and service passport holders alongside a vehicle assembly partnership.
Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has expressed the country's interest in exploring nuclear energy cooperation with the United States, as both nations seek to enhance their bilateral ties. This was revealed during a farewell meeting on November 9, 2026, between Ablakwa and outgoing U.S. Chargé d’Affaires ad interim, Rolf Olson, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Accra.
Ablakwa commended Olson for his role in strengthening ties between Ghana and the United States, particularly in education and security sectors. He also thanked the U.S. government for its assistance in airlifting Ghanaian Armed Forces personnel and equipment to Jamaica, following Hurricane Melissa's destruction. The Minister emphasized Ghana's commitment to maintaining strong relations with the United States and expanding cooperation on multiple levels.
Ablakwa assured that the incoming U.S. Consul would receive the same support and cooperation extended to Olson during his time in Ghana.
