Ghana

PM Modi's visit to Ghana on July 2-3 marks the first prime ministerial visit from India in three decades. This reflects the growing importance of Ghana in India's foreign policy. Discussions with the President of Ghana will focus on strengthening the bilateral partnership and exploring opportunities to enhance collaboration in economic, energy, and defense sectors, as well as development cooperation. This visit will also reaffirm the shared commitment of both countries to deepen bilateral ties and strengthen India's engagement with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union. Both leaders will engage in discussions aimed at deepening cooperation across various sectors, including trade, investment, agriculture, technology, education, healthcare, and energy. They will also exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
