A high-level meeting between Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and renowned Qatari investor Sheikh Mansour bin Jabor bin Jassim Al Thani has set the stage for substantial new investments into Ghana’s priority development projects.
The talks, held during Ablakwa’s official visit to Qatar, were described by the minister as “extremely successful.”
This was shared by Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on his official Facebook page.
Sheikh Mansour, Chairman of Al Mansour Holdings and a member of the Qatar royal family used the meeting to pledge billion-dollar investments across several sectors central to President John Mahama’s economic transformation agenda.
Key areas highlighted include President Mahama’s vision for a new city, major rail infrastructure with a focus on the western corridor rail network, the establishment of a gold refinery, and development of the Volta Economic Corridor under the 24-Hour Initiative.
The Sheikh further expressed interest in supporting the construction of regional hospitals and regional airports.
As a direct outcome of the meeting, Al Mansour Holdings has committed to dispatching a delegation to Accra in the coming days to begin technical discussions with sector leaders and move the investment process forward.
The breakthrough aligns with Ghana’s renewed emphasis on economic diplomacy.
It also echoes President Mahama’s assertion that “Ghana is open for business again,” signaling a strong push to attract strategic international partnerships.
