Swakopmund, Namibia – Ghana and Namibia are deepening their economic relationship with a focus on boosting trade and investment between the two nations. The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) and the Namibian Investment Promotion and Development Board have joined forces to capitalize on opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The decision follows the successful conclusion of the Fifth Session of the Namibia-Ghana Permanent Joint Commission for Cooperation held in Swakopmund earlier this month. During the meeting, both countries reaffirmed their commitment to collaborating across various sectors including energy, mining, agriculture, and health.
Foreign Ministers Peya Mushelenga of Namibia and Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey of Ghana expressed their desire to elevate the bilateral relationship to a higher level by establishing a Bi-National Commission led by the two countries’ heads of state.
In a related development, the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Namibia’s International Women’s Peace Centre to enhance cooperation in peace and security training.
