Ghana and Panama have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formally commence bilateral political consultations between the two countries.
The agreement was signed in New York on the sidelines of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly by Ghana’s representative, Samuel Okudzeto, and Panama’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency Javier Eduardo Martínez-Acha Vásquez.
The MoU is expected to provide a structured framework for strengthening cooperation between Ghana and Panama in several key areas.
According to Mr. Okudzeto, the agreement will focus particularly on maritime affairs, cocoa production, increased trade and mutual technical assistance in the extractive sector.

He said the arrangement would deepen relations between the two countries while creating opportunities for greater economic and technical cooperation.
Mr. Okudzeto also used the occasion to inject some humour into the diplomatic engagement, referencing the recent football encounter between the two nations.
He noted that the two sides took the opportunity to “reconcile” following Ghana’s Black Stars’ victory over Panama at the recently concluded World Cup.
The signing of the MoU marks a new step in Ghana-Panama relations, with both countries seeking to expand cooperation beyond political consultations into trade, maritime affairs, agriculture and the extractive industries.
