Mahama holds trade partnerships, economic cooperation meeting with world leaders
Ghanaian President, John Mahama, has held bilateral meetings with several world leaders on trade, technology, regional security and economic cooperation on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.
A statement on Wednesday noted that Mr Mahama met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Kenyan President William Ruto, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Swiss President Guy Parmelin among others.
“The meeting with President Ruto focused on expanding bilateral trade, bolstering regional security, strengthening diplomatic ties, and unifying Africa’s voice on global platforms,” the statement read.
Mr Ruto commended Mr Mahama for spearheading the Accra reset agenda, which seeks greater financial independence and self-financing for African countries.
“The meeting with King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein of Jordan explored how to expand economic cooperation, foster bilateral growth, and explore new trade partnerships,” the statement noted.
Mr Mahama outlined his administration’s strategies to revive the national economy despite inherited challenges during his meeting with Swiss President Parmelin.
He called for Swiss support to strengthen Ghana’s decentralisation framework and identified artificial intelligence as a tool Ghana could leverage to improve domestic revenue mobilisation.
The Ghanaian president also met with Rebeca Grynspan, Costa Rica’s candidate for UN secretary-general, and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, who serves as the UN secretary-general’s Special Advocate for Financial Health.
