According to Mr. Ablakwa, the discussions hinged on, ” our increasingly buoyant bilateral relations and aligned our priority areas of focus for 2026 consistent with the vision of President John Mahama.
He said, ”Ghana and the UK have commenced processes intended to elevate our bilateral relations to a Strategic Partnership”.
The engagements, the Foreign Affairs Minster said, ”highlighted multiple sectors for deeper cooperation including security, trade, job creation, health, education, governance and constitutional review”.
He called for a government to government framework for the protection and improved conditions of particularly Ghanaian health practitioners who work and aspire to work in the UK.
Mr. Ablakwa also made a special appeal for Ghana to be exempted from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and the required fees payable by Ghanaian students and professionals since English has long been the Medium of Instruction in Ghana.
