Ghana and Guinea-Bissau have signed an agreement establishing a Joint Commission for Cooperation.
The pact will serve as the legal framework for the two countries’ trade and investment objectives.
After President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s visit to Guinea-Bissau, the agreement was reached on Monday, May 15.
It is intended to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two nations.
“As part of my three-day state visit to Guinea-Bissau, I held bilateral discussions with President Umaro Sissoco Embaló of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau on May 15, 2023,” the President wrote on his Facebook page.
“Education, trade and industry, agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture, environment, science and technology, petroleum and hydrocarbon activities, and tourism were all discussed in a cordial atmosphere,” he said.
The development follows the recent visit to Ghana by the President of Guinea-Bissau, who was invited as the Guest of Honor to attend the celebration of Ghana’s 66th anniversary of independence.
In Guinea-Bissau, President Nana Akufo-Addo will receive the Amilcar Cabral Medal, the nation’s highest honor.
In addition, he will deliver a lecture at the Law Faculty of Amilcar Cabral University and interact with the Ghanaian contingent of the ECOWAS Stabilisation Support Mission based in Bissau.
