An agreement to increase the scholarship quota for Ghanaian students in AI, robotics and engineering; commitment to working on a direct flight from Accra to Algiers; commencement of a strategic oil and gas partnership; consolidation of security cooperation and intelligence sharing and reviving the Joint Economic Cooperation.
These are some of the recent deals signed between Ghana and Algeria, as announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
In addition to these pacts, Ghana and Algeria have also signed a visa waiver agreement.
Mr Ablakwa announced these on his X page on Thursday, May 1.
He indicated that Ghana and Algeria have a shared history and historic bonds of solidarity which cannot be broken.
It is always worth remembering that the first time the Algerian flag and Algerian anthem were outdoored outside Algeria in the early 1960s was in Ghana, he said.
“Yesterday, I honoured a special brotherly invitation from the President and Foreign Minister of Algeria. It has been an exceedingly successful official visit to Algiers.
“We signed a visa waiver agreement; agreed to increase the scholarship quota for Ghanaian students in AI, robotics and engineering; committed to working on a direct flight from Accra to Algiers; commencing a strategic oil and gas partnership; consolidating security cooperation and intelligence sharing and reviving our Joint Economic Cooperation.”
“I convey heartfelt gratitude to President H.E. Abdelmadjid Tebboune and my brother, Foreign Minister H.E. Ahmed Attaf for their exceptionally warm hospitality and genuine friendship,” the Min sister added.
