Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s historic visit to Ghana marks a significant step in strengthening India-Africa relations, with a sharp focus on expanding bilateral trade and investment. In a series of high-level meetings with Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo and local business leaders, Modi emphasized India’s commitment to being a long-term trade and development partner. Key discussions revolved around infrastructure development, digital technology cooperation, and India’s role in Ghana’s energy and pharmaceutical sectors.
This visit, Modi’s first to the West African nation, is part of India’s broader Africa outreach strategy to enhance south-south cooperation. Ghana, rich in natural resources and strategically positioned as a regional hub, presents vast opportunities for Indian enterprises. The two countries signed several MoUs, including agreements in agriculture, fintech, and clean energy. Analysts see the visit as a pivotal moment that could accelerate economic engagement between India and the African continent.
