Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address Ghana’s Parliament this afternoon and hold an interaction with the Indian community in Accra. On the second and last day of his tour to Ghana, Mr. Modi will also visit the Nkrumah memorial in Accra, which is the spot where Kwame Nkrumah made the declaration of Ghana’s independence. Earlier, Prime Minister Modi and Ghana President ​John Dramani Mahama held delegation-level talks, and the two nations agreed to elevate their ties to a Comprehensive Partnership. They discussed expanding cooperation in trade, investment, agriculture, digital technology, capacity building, infrastructure, and people-to-people ties. Four MoUs in the fields of culture, standards, Ayurveda and traditional medicine, and a joint commission mechanism were signed between the two countries. Both leaders welcomed growing bilateral trade and Indian investments in Ghana, and also spoke of defence and security cooperation.

Later, Prime Minister Modi received the national honour of Ghana – Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana – from John Mahama in recognition of his distinguished statesmanship and influential global leadership.
