The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Ghana, H.E. Sultan Abdulrahman Al-Dhakel, was hosted by the Ghanaian government. The meeting marked the beginning of a new era in Ghana-Saudi Arabia bilateral relations, with both nations agreeing to expand their cooperation across sectors.
The talks yielded results, including the rollout of projects in the coming months and years. One outcome was Saudi Arabia’s decision to increase Ghana’s Hajj quota to over 6,000.
Furthermore, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia is set to visit Ghana this year, following an invitation from his Ghanaian counterpart. This visit is expected to further solidify the relationship between the two countries.
President Mahama’s government has reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing ties with Saudi Arabia, a partnership that is poised to yield benefits for both nations.
