Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa writes…
With absolute delight and great honour, I today welcomed the Foreign Minister of Serbia, H.E. Marko Durić to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the commencement of his 3-day official visit to Ghana.
We are excited to welcome Minister Durić to our beautiful country — the gateway to Africa.
It’s a source of tremendous pride to see our relations blossom since Ghana and Serbia established formal diplomatic ties in 1959.
President Nkrumah and President Tito were the architects of our strong bilateral relations. They both pioneered the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961.
The Accra International Conference Centre which was built by Serbian engineers in preparation for the 10th Ministerial Conference of the NAM in 1991 is a significant symbol of our collaboration.
Our discussions re-affirmed our belief in the UN Charter, our faith in international public law, our commitment to global peace as leading UN peacekeeping troop contributing nations and our resolve to seek friendship with all nations.
We agreed to deepen cooperation in trade, agriculture, AI, sports, scholarships and defence.
We are also negotiating a labour mobility agreement considering that Serbia seeks to offer 100,000 international work permits this year.
Excellent cooperation between Ghana and Serbia.
