President John Dramani Mahama arrived in Singapore on Monday afternoon (morning in Ghana) to begin a three-day State Visit focused on deepening Ghana–Singapore relations, expanding trade and investment, and fostering cooperation in education, science, innovation, urban solutions, agribusiness, and the digital economy.
As part of his itinerary, President Mahama will hold bilateral talks with the President of Singapore, H.E. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. He is also scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the 8th Africa–Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) and headline a Ghana-focused Investment and Business Forum. The events will bring together leading figures from the public and private sectors to explore new avenues of economic partnership between the two nations.
Speaking to journalists upon arrival, President Mahama emphasized the shared vision of Ghana and Singapore in driving innovation and enterprise.
“Ghana and Singapore share a forward-looking outlook anchored in innovation, skills, and enterprise. This visit will translate our shared values into practical cooperation—bringing Singaporean investment and know-how into Ghana’s priority sectors while opening new pathways for Ghanaian businesses across Southeast Asia,” he said.
The President’s delegation includes Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Advisor and Special Aide to the President; Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry; and Haruna Iddrisu, Minister for Education.
Other officials accompanying him are Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Presidential Spokesperson and Minister of State for Government Communications; Simon Madjie, Chief Executive of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre; and Francis Kwarteng Arthur, Chief Executive of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority.
