Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has met with Singapore’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Hawazi Daipi, to reinforce bilateral ties between the two nations. The meeting resulted in an agreement to maintain the Visa Waiver Agreement and deepen cooperation in key areas such as trade, skills education, and information technology.
OKUDZETO Ablakwa expressed gratitude to the High Commissioner for inviting President John Mahama to pay a state visit to Singapore, courtesy of Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam. This development comes on the heels of Ghana and Singapore’s recent collaboration on carbon credits cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which aims to promote sustainable development and generate benefits for local communities.
The two countries have made significant progress in their partnership, including the signing of an Implementation Agreement on carbon credits cooperation in May 2024. This agreement sets out a legally binding framework and processes for generating and transferring carbon credits between Singapore and Ghana. Projects under this agreement are expected to promote sustainable development, create jobs, and improve energy security.
