Ablakwa noted, reflecting on the productive dialogue held with the Jamaican foreign minister.
He further emphasised the importance of the relationship between Ghana and Jamaica, adding:
Ghana 🇬🇭 and Jamaica 🇯🇲 are set to expand the frontiers of our inseparable historical relations.
The agreement marks a significant step toward deepening Ghana-Jamaica relations and reflects a shared commitment to transforming longstanding cultural and historical ties into tangible, developmental outcomes.
Historically, Ghana and Jamaica share deep cultural and ancestral links rooted in the transatlantic slave trade, pan-Africanism, and the legacies of leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah and Marcus Garvey.
This move is expected to open doors for future collaborations and people-to-people exchanges, while also positioning both nations as key players in South-South cooperation.
