The meeting concluded with the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding focused on maritime security, climate change cooperation, and digital technology. The agreements are expected to strengthen collaboration and open new areas of cooperation between Ghana and South Korea.
During the talks, President Mahama highlighted the strong historical ties between the two nations, noting that shared democratic values and commitment to human rights have helped build a solid relationship over the years. He said these common principles have enabled both countries to work closely together in global institutions such as the United Nations, where they often support similar positions on international issues.
The Ghanaian president also emphasized the importance of expanding cooperation in agriculture and agribusiness. He pointed to initiatives supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency that are helping boost rice production and improve food security in Ghana.
President Mahama further highlighted the opportunities for stronger economic partnerships through the African Continental Free Trade Area, whose Secretariat is based in Accra. He noted that Ghana’s position as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat makes the country a strategic hub for production and exports to the wider African market.
He expressed confidence that Ghana’s natural resources and skilled workforce, combined with South Korea’s technological innovation, will continue to strengthen cooperation and promote sustainable growth and shared prosperity for both nations.
