Strengthening Ties with Angola

“Ghana values its partnership with Angola, and we look forward to further cooperation through knowledge-sharing and joint initiatives that drive growth in strategic sectors,” the President noted.
Malta–Ghana Relations Anchored in Trade and AfCFTA
President Mahama praised Ambassador Jean Claude Galea Mallia of Malta for his over seven years of service in Ghana, which has fostered strong diplomatic and personal bonds between the two nations. Discussions focused on expanding trade and investment under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
“We are keen to build on the momentum of growing Malta–Ghana trade ties, leveraging AfCFTA to unlock new economic opportunities,” the President said.
France’s Expanding Economic Footprint

He commended France’s continued support for Ghanaian entrepreneurship, particularly in the creative industries, through a €2 million initiative, as well as its significant investment of over €90 million in the Feed Ghana programme focused on agricultural development in the northern regions.
“France’s multifaceted partnership with Ghana is yielding tangible benefits for our people. We are committed to maintaining a business-friendly environment that encourages sustainable investment and innovation,” President Mahama affirmed.
