The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has declared improved security collaboration initiatives between the Government of Ghana and the United States.
In line with the enduring bilateral Defence Cooperation Agreement, he stated that Ghana and the United States have enhanced intelligence sharing and training initiatives through the coordinated deployment of U.S. military aviation resources.
Ghana appreciates this partnership with the United States regarding our mutual security objectives, he remarked following a productive meeting with Acting US Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Rolf Olson, on Monday, December 1.
In a post on his X page subsequent to the meeting, he noted, “We evaluated recent positive developments in our bilateral relations, including the reinstatement of 5-year Visas for Ghanaians, the elimination of President Trump’s 15% tariffs on cocoa, semi-processed cocoa, and other eligible agricultural products, arrangements for World Cup soccer enthusiasts, and the exemption of Ghana from last week’s Trump Green Card Review and immigration suspension policy.
“Ghana is also optimistic about a favorable outcome in our ongoing AGOA negotiations. Ghana-US relations will continue to focus on securing the best agreements for the citizens we represent.
“Aviation operations will consistently be coordinated with the relevant government authorities. Ghana’s strategic national interest will remain our guiding principle.
