President John Dramani Mahama and India’s Minister for External Affairs, Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, have met in Accra to deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, rail development, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
During the Minister’s courtesy call at the Presidency, the two leaders focused on expanding mutual economic opportunities.
They also called for a more equitable global order that rejected unilateralism.
President Mahama highlighted a significant rise in trade between both nations, noting that Ghana’s exports to India had surged from about $3 billion to nearly $7 billion.
He acknowledged Ghana’s continued reliance on Indian agricultural machinery, automobiles, and buses.
President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s openness to partnerships in local medicine and vaccine production.
These initiatives aligned directly with the health sovereignty goals of the Accra Reset, he added.
The President also identified rail infrastructure as a priority sector for expanded collaboration.
Dr Jaishankar conveyed warm greetings from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu.
He stated that both leaders expected to give concrete shape to the partnership through new avenues of cooperation.
Ghana and India have maintained strong ties since Ghana gained independence in 1957.
Their partnership spans education, agriculture, technology, capacity building, and cultural exchanges.
This latest engagement builds on that historical foundation to open new pathways for mutual growth.
