Ghana and Belarus have taken a major step forward in strengthening bilateral relations with the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) during President John Dramani Mahama’s State Visit to Minsk.

The agreements establish a Joint Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation, reinforce collaboration between the Chambers of Commerce of both countries, and enhance cooperation in agriculture. Together, they form the framework for stronger institutional and private sector ties, unlocking new opportunities for investment and innovation.

At a joint press conference, President Mahama described the visit as a landmark moment in Ghana–Belarus relations, reaffirming both countries’ commitment to practical cooperation anchored on mutual respect and shared benefit. He underscored agriculture as a central pillar of Ghana’s development agenda, identifying Belarus as a strategic partner in mechanisation, technology transfer, research, and investment.

President Mahama also highlighted expanded opportunities for collaboration in education, renewable energy, trade, and industry as key drivers of sustainable growth. He expressed confidence that the agreements will stimulate innovation, create employment, and translate shared aspirations into tangible development outcomes.
The signing of the MoUs signals the beginning of a renewed phase in Ghana–Belarus relations, laying the foundation for deeper cooperation across priority sectors of their economies.
