From the just-ended Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda:
Ghana had the opportunity to assess the significant progress the country is making in its relations with strategic partners like Jamaica.
The Foreign Minister, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s engagement with Jamaican Foreign Minister, Her Excellency Kamina Johnson Smith highlighted our crucial Ghana-Jamaica Port Cooperation Agreement which is now ready. The Tema Port and the Port of Kingston are expected to have a comprehensive collaboration to boost trade, logistics, maritime cooperation and job creation.
Ghana’s latest group of nurses have also arrived in Jamaica under the labour mobility programme we negotiated last year.
We are finalizing air services agreements with our Caribbean friends to work out direct flight arrangements between Ghana and the Caribbean when the ongoing revival of Ghana Airways is completed.
