Tracing the roots of the bilateral relationship, President Mahama highlighted that Indian merchants first arrived in Ghana in 1890, and many Indian families have since made Ghana their permanent home.
“Today, many of them are proud citizens of Ghana,” he said.
He acknowledged the significant contributions of the Indian community to Ghana’s economy, lauding them as astute investors in commerce, education, health, and agribusiness.
President Mahama thanked India for its long-standing support of Ghana’s development agenda, referencing several major collaborative projects, including:
- The Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT
- The Elmina Fish Processing Plant
- The Komenda Sugar Factory
- The Tema-Mpakadan Railway Line
He noted that discussions with Prime Minister Modi earlier in the day focused on expanding cooperation in strategic sectors such as:
- Agriculture and agribusiness
- Renewable energy
- Digital innovation and youth empowerment
- Healthcare systems strengthening
With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat based in Accra, Mahama stressed Ghana’s readiness to serve as a gateway for Indian businesses looking to enter African markets. He praised India’s growing global economic stature and said its partnership could help Ghana integrate further into global value chains.
President Mahama ended with a call for deeper, future-focused engagement, offering a toast to enduring ties rooted in mutual prosperity, respect, and a shared global outlook.
“This visit signals the start of even deeper cooperation between our two nations—anchored in shared prosperity and a commitment to building a fairer, more peaceful world,” he concluded.
