Mahama pushes Ghana-Gabon economic alliance to unlock trade, investment and job creation
President John Dramani Mahama called for stronger economic cooperation between Ghana and Gabon on Tuesday, July 28, at the Jubilee House. He held bilateral talks with Gabonese President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, focusing on trade, investment, industrialisation, and private-sector partnerships. President Mahama stated, "I believe that your decision to undertake this visit to Ghana reflects our personal friendship as leaders of our two countries, but it also reflects the desire that our two governments have to consolidate the long-standing bonds of friendship between our two nations into a more purposeful, ambitious and mutually beneficial partnership."
President Oligui Nguema arrived in Ghana for an official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries, which have maintained diplomatic ties for more than six decades. President Mahama highlighted trade and investment as key areas for cooperation, especially as Africa seeks to expand economic integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). He added that Ghana, as the host country for the AfCFTA Secretariat, is committed to advancing intra-African trade, industrialisation, and economic integration. President Mahama also stated that Ghana and Gabon should work together to ensure businesses, investors, and citizens benefit from the opportunities created by the continental market.
