President John Dramani Mahama has held bilateral talks with the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Jae Myung, aimed at strengthening relations between the two countries.
The meeting ended with the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) covering maritime security, climate change cooperation and digital technology, marking a new step in expanding collaboration between Ghana and South Korea.
Speaking after the talks, President Mahama highlighted the strong historical ties, shared democratic values and commitment to human rights that continue to guide relations between the two countries.
He noted that these shared values have enabled Ghana and South Korea to work closely together on several international platforms, including the United Nations, where both countries often support similar positions on global issues.
The President also pointed to growing cooperation in agriculture and agribusiness, particularly through initiatives supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) aimed at boosting rice production and strengthening Ghana’s food security.
President Mahama further emphasised the economic opportunities created by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), whose Secretariat is located in Accra, positioning Ghana as a strategic gateway for investment and trade across the African market.
He expressed optimism that Ghana’s natural resources and skilled workforce, combined with Korea’s advanced technology and innovation, would continue to strengthen the partnership and promote sustainable development and shared prosperity.
