I had the honour of accepting a special invitation from Canada’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Her Excellency Anita Anand, to undertake an official visit to Canada.
The visit underscored the depth of our longstanding friendship and offered a valuable opportunity to advance shared priorities.
Yesterday in Ottawa, we signed a Letter of Intent reaffirming our commitment to deepen and expand excellent bilateral relations.
It focuses on mutually agreed priority areas: aviation, railway development, trade facilitation, education, agribusiness, value addition, mining, counterterrorism, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and the commencement of negotiations for a defence agreement.
These areas reflect a forward-looking agenda aligned with both countries’ strategic interests.
Minister Anand graciously hosted my delegation and me for a substantive and progressive bilateral meeting covering a wide range of topics.
We discussed how Ghana and Canada can become strong allies within the framework of President Mahama’s Reset Agenda and Canada’s new Strategic Plan for Africa, which was fortuitously launched last year on Ghana’s Independence Anniversary, March 6.
This alignment of vision creates a solid foundation for enhanced cooperation across multiple sectors.
Beyond the Letter of Intent, we are exploring structured labour mobility pathways and increased scholarships to deepen people-to-people ties and build capacity.
We agreed to forge closer partnership in responding to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, addressing instability in Haiti, and combating violent extremism in the Sahel.
These commitments reflect our shared responsibility to promote peace, security, and human dignity beyond our borders.
The discussions were productive, forward-looking, and grounded in mutual respect. We remain committed to sustained engagement and practical follow-up in the months ahead for mutual benefit. Read more...
