In a significant diplomatic development, Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the signing of a visa waiver agreement with Antigua and Barbuda. The agreement, finalized on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, marks the 10th such pact secured by Ghana under Ablakwa’s leadership. The announcement was made via social media on September 25, where Ablakwa expressed gratitude to his counterpart, H.E. E.P. Chet Greene, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Barbuda Affairs, for his instrumental role in achieving this milestone. The visa waiver is part of the Mahama Administration’s broader strategy to enhance the value of the Ghanaian passport, promote international trade and tourism, and strengthen cultural and economic ties with Caribbean nations. This agreement is expected to facilitate smoother travel for Ghanaians, fostering deeper connections with Antigua and Barbuda while projecting Ghana’s positive image on the global stage.
