During the discussions, President Mahama highlighted the shared history, democratic values, and mutual commitment to human rights that continue to strengthen relations between Ghana and Korea.

He also emphasized expanding cooperation in agriculture and agribusiness, particularly through initiatives supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), which aim to boost rice production and enhance food security in Ghana.
He further highlighted opportunities for stronger economic partnerships through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), whose Secretariat is hosted in Accra. The President noted that Ghana’s role as host positions the country as a strategic hub for production and exports to the broader African market.
He expressed optimism that Ghana’s natural and human resources, combined with Korea’s technological innovation, will continue to drive a mutually beneficial partnership focused on sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
