Ghana and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have cemented a stronger bond of cooperation after what officials are describing as a “historic and exceptionally successful” diplomatic visit led by Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
In a statement following the two-day engagement, Ablakwa revealed that the UAE has pledged significant investment across several vital sectors in Ghana.
These include renewable energy, artificial intelligence, education, healthcare, aviation, and defense — areas he said are crucial to the country’s transformation agenda.
“This visit has been exceptionally successful and historic. We have secured significant commitments from UAE companies who will be investing in critical sectors of Ghana’s economy, including renewable energy, AI, education, health, aviation, and defense,” he stated.
A key highlight from the bilateral discussions was a concrete pledge of technical assistance toward the establishment of a national airline, a long-anticipated development that could reshape Ghana’s aviation landscape.
“We have obtained firm commitments for technical support, which will be instrumental in establishing a robust and efficient national airline,” Ablakwa announced.
He further noted that the new partnerships underscore a deepening relationship between the two nations.
“This successful engagement underscores the strong and growing bond between Ghana and the UAE. We are confident that these developments will lead to significant economic growth and create numerous opportunities for the Ghanaian people,” he affirmed.
