Ghana’s renewed push for economic diplomacy has received a significant boost following a high-level meeting between Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and Sheikh Mansour bin Jabor bin Jassim Al Thani, Chairman of Al Mansour Holdings, during an official visit to Qatar.
Sheikh Mansour, a prominent investment mogul and member of the Qatari royal family, pledged multi-billion-dollar investments in President John Mahama’s priority projects. These include the President’s vision for a new city, rail infrastructure with emphasis on the western corridor network, a gold refinery, the Volta Economic Corridor under the 24-Hour Initiative, as well as regional hospitals and airports.
Al Mansour Holdings has committed to sending a delegation to Accra in the coming days to advance discussions with sector leaders and explore implementation strategies.
The pledge underscores Ghana’s growing appeal to international investors, with Sheikh Mansour commending the country’s ambitious development agenda.
President Mahama has consistently emphasized Ghana’s readiness to attract global capital, declaring: “Ghana is open for business again.”
