President John Dramani Mahama has held bilateral talks with the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Jae Myung, reaffirming the strong and historic partnership between Ghana and Korea.
The high-level meeting culminated in the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) covering maritime security, climate change cooperation, and digital technology, marking a significant step toward deepening collaboration between the two nations.
During the discussions, President Mahama highlighted the shared history, democratic values, and mutual commitment to human rights that continue to underpin relations between Ghana and Korea. According to him, these common principles have enabled both countries to work closely together in multilateral institutions, particularly the United Nations, where they often advance similar positions on key global issues.
The President also underscored the expanding cooperation between the two countries in agriculture and agribusiness, especially through programmes supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency aimed at boosting rice production and strengthening Ghana’s food security.
He further highlighted opportunities for a stronger economic partnership through the African Continental Free Trade Area, whose Secretariat is hosted in Accra, positioning Ghana as a strategic hub for production and exports to the wider African market.
President Mahama expressed optimism that Ghana’s rich natural resources and skilled human capital, combined with Korea’s technological innovation and industrial capacity, will continue to drive a mutually beneficial partnership for sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
The engagement reflects growing diplomatic and economic ties between Ghana and South Korea as both nations seek to expand cooperation across key sectors of development.
