Ghana, Norway sign landmark deal to boost cooperation in energy, trade, and maritime security

Ghana and Norway have taken a bold step to strengthen their bilateral ties with the signing of a Political Consultations Agreement on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The agreement, announced by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on his social media platforms, seeks to elevate cooperation between the two nations across key economic and security sectors.

Mr Ablakwa commended Norway’s Minister of International Development, Hon. Åsmund Grøver Aukrust, for his “exceptional” collaboration with Ghana’s delegation in making the pact a reality.

Under the new framework, Ghana and Norway will deepen partnerships in oil and gas, trade facilitation, education, agribusiness, artificial intelligence, maritime security, blue economy, and intelligence sharing.

According to Ablakwa, the accord underscores both countries’ commitment to provide global leadership in ocean governance. “Our two leaders commit to providing global leadership as we spearhead the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy,” he stated.
