Ghana, Kyrgyzstan sign visa waiver deal to boost diplomatic ties
Ghana and the Kyrgyz Republic signed a visa waiver agreement to boost diplomatic ties. The agreement is for holders of diplomatic and service passports. The signing marks a significant step in strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.
The agreement was reached during an official visit by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, aimed at deepening cooperation and exploring new areas of partnership. The visa waiver is expected to ease travel for government officials and enhance diplomatic engagements between Accra and Bishkek. Both countries expressed a shared commitment to building a strategic partnership across key sectors, particularly in the gold industry. Ghana and Kyrgyzstan are recognised as major producers in their respective regions. The two nations also agreed to establish formal political consultations to ensure sustained dialogue and cooperation on issues of mutual interest.
Discussions are already underway to extend similar arrangements to holders of ordinary passports. The partnership is anticipated to open new opportunities in trade, investment and economic collaboration, while strengthening South-South cooperation. Officials say the visit signals a renewed commitment by both countries to build a forward-looking relationship anchored on mutual respect, trust and shared economic interests.
