Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Ghana on a historic two-day official visit, marking a significant moment in the longstanding relationship between the two nations.
He was warmly received at Kotoka International Airport by top Ghanaian government officials, dignitaries, and a display of cultural pageantry reflecting Ghana’s rich traditions.
The visit underscores India’s growing interest in West Africa and its commitment to working closely with Ghana to promote economic growth, technological collaboration, and sustainable development.
Prime Minister Modi is expected to hold high-level talks with President John Dramani Mahama, focusing on key areas such as trade, digital innovation, education, health, renewable energy, and infrastructure.
During his stay, Modi will also engage with Indian business leaders in Ghana and participate in the inauguration of several India-funded projects, including a state-of-the-art vocational training center and a solar electrification initiative for rural communities.
“This visit is a reflection of our deep friendship and our shared vision for progress,” Prime Minister Modi said in a statement released ahead of the visit. “India stands ready to support Ghana’s development journey as a trusted partner.”
Observers view Modi’s visit as a strategic move to deepen India’s influence in Africa, particularly at a time when global powers are competing for economic and diplomatic presence on the continent.
The two-day trip is expected to culminate in the signing of multiple cooperation agreements that will pave the way for stronger ties and long-term collaboration between India and Ghana.
