The Minister of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo, has met with the Turkish Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Hüseyin Güngör, to discuss ways of enhancing the longstanding relationship between the two countries. The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation in areas such as labour relations, job creation, and employment development.
According to Pelpuo, the Ministry is open to collaborating with Turkey on mutually beneficial initiatives, particularly through public-private partnerships and bilateral trade. The Ambassador expressed Turkey’s interest in deeper cooperation and experience-sharing with Ghana.
This development comes as no surprise, given the existing strong ties between Ghana and Turkey. In recent years, Turkey has made significant investments in Ghana, including the construction of the National Mosque, one of the largest in West Africa. Both countries have expressed a desire to further strengthen their bilateral relations, with potential benefits in areas such as trade, business, and security cooperation.
