President John Dramani Mahama arrived in Singapore yesterday for a three-day state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation, expanding trade and investment.
The visit will also help in advancing partnerships in education, science and innovation, urban solutions, agribusiness, and the digital economy.
While in Singapore, President Mahama will hold bilateral discussions with the President of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and the Prime Minister, Lawrence Wong.
He will also deliver the keynote address at the 8th Africa-Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) and headline a Ghana country-specific Investment and Business Forum that would convene public-and private-sector leaders to unlock new opportunities between Ghana and Singapore.
New pathways
“Ghana and Singapore share a forward-looking outlook anchored in innovation, skills and enterprise.
This visit will translate our shared values into practical cooperation — bringing Singaporean investment and know-how into Ghana’s priority sectors while opening new pathways for Ghanaian businesses across Southeast Asia,” President Mahama said on arrival.
President Mahama was accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa (MP); Advisor and Special Aide to the President, Joyce Bawah Mogtari; the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare (MP), and the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu (MP).
Other members of the delegation are the Presidential Spokesperson and Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu; the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Simon Madjie; and the CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Francis Kwarteng Arthur.
