Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that the relationship between Ghana and Germany is poised to become even stronger and more beneficial for both nations.

Mr. Ablakwa made this remark as he welcomed German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to Ghana on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Foreign Affairs Minister expressed Ghana’s excitement over the high-profile visit.

“The inseparable bond between Ghana and Germany is about to get even stronger and more beneficial to the citizens of our two countries. God bless Ghana and Germany,” he wrote.

President Steinmeier arrived in Accra on Monday, November 3, 2025, for a three day State Visit. He is accompanied by a high level delegation from Germany.

The official visit began with the inspection of a full military Guard of Honour at the Forecourt of the Presidency. This was followed by a closed-door meeting between Presidents Mahama and Steinmeier, after which both delegations engaged in bilateral talks at the Credentials Room.

Discussions centered on strengthening cooperation in trade, investment, technology, and development partnerships. A State Luncheon was held later in honor of the German leader and his delegation at the Presidential Banquet Hall.

President Steinmeier will continue his visit on Tuesday in Kumasi, where he is expected to meet Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and participate in other engagements before his departure later that evening.

The visit underscores the growing diplomatic and economic partnership between Ghana and Germany, reflecting a shared commitment to sustainable development and mutual growth.
