President Mahama reaffirms Ghana’s commitment to deepening relations with Czech Republic.

President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to deepening relations with Czech Republic.

In his address to the media on April 8, following the visit of Czech President Petr Pavel to the Jubilee House, President Mahama described the visit as “another milestone in the longstanding cordial relations that exist between our two countries,” dating back to 1961 when Ghana and the then-Czechoslovakia established diplomatic missions in their respective capital.

“This visit marks another milestone in the longstanding cordial relations that exist between our two countries and reaffirm the political, economic, and cultural cooperation that lie at the heart of Ghana’s diplomatic engagement with the Czech Republic.

“In our bilateral discussions this afternoon, we acknowledged the cordial and long-standing relations that have existed between Ghana and the Czech Republic. Which date back to 1961 when we opened diplomatic missions in our respective countries and have been reinforced over the decades through the exchange of high-level visits and opening of resident missions in our capitals.” He said.

According to him, the historical ties between Ghana and Czech Republic have been reinforced over the decades through high-level exchanges and collaborative development initiatives. President John Mahama further disclosed that, the two countries have singed two key agreements, a Memorandum of Understanding on Political Consultation and a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (Air Transport Agreement), to reinvigorate and spearhead cooperation in various sectors between our two countries.

“Our two countries share deep respect for democratic values and governance and human rights, and by nurturing these shared principles, we can engage in fruitful dialogue, exchange best practices, and foster mutual understanding.

“We also signed a memorandum of understanding on political consultation, a bilateral air services agreement, also known as Air Transport Agreement between Ghana and the Czech Republic. It is our hope that the implementation of these MOUs will reinvigorate and spearhead cooperation in various sectors between our two countries.” He stated.

President Mahama stressed on the strategic importance of these agreements in promoting connectivity, diplomacy, and commercial exchanges. He also urged private sectors in Ghana and Czech Republic to explore possible avenues for cooperation in various sectors of the Ghanaian economy.

“In addition, we discussed the need to expand the frontiers of our relations and cooperation with the Czech Republic, both at the bilateral and multilateral levels. At the bilateral level, note was taking of potential for trade and economic cooperation.

“I’ll therefore aid the private sectors of the two countries to come together to explore possible avenues for cooperation in various sectors of the Ghanaian economy.” He said.
