President John Dramani Mahama on Monday arrived in Singapore for a three-day state visit.
The Singapore visit comes on the heels of his successful working visit to Japan, where he participated in the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) in Yokohama, Japan.
A statement issued by Ghana’s Presidency said the visit aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation, expanding trade and investment, and advancing partnerships in education, science and innovation, urban solutions, agribusiness, and the digital economy.
It said during the visit, President Mahama would hold bilateral discussions with the Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
It noted that President Mahama would also deliver the keynote address at the 8th Africa–Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) and headline a Ghana country-specific Investment and Business Forum, convening public- and private-sector leaders to unlock new opportunities between Ghana and Singapore.
Speaking on arrival, President Mahama said: “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’s delegation include Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Mrs Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Presidential Advisor and Special Aide to the President; Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry; and Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Education.
