Ghana honours India’s Modi during official visit
by Caroaryee · MyNewsGh.comPrime Minister Narendra Modi has been honoured by the Ghanaian government in recognition of India’s longstanding support and growing contributions to Ghana’s development.
The state award, presented during a brief ceremony in Accra on Wednesday, July 2, underscores the country’s appreciation for India’s consistent partnership over the years.
President John Dramani Mahama used the event not only to celebrate diplomatic ties but also to reinforce Ghana’s vision for enhanced cooperation with India.
Addressing the media during a joint press conference at Jubilee House, President Mahama stressed the need for a renewed bilateral agenda anchored in key sectors.
“We agreed on the urgency of deepening our collaboration in areas of shared strategic interest, particularly in agriculture, agribusiness and renewable energy, digital innovation, health and youth empowerment,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi, while accepting the honour, called the award a powerful symbol of mutual respect and responsibility.
He stated that the recognition was not only a personal honour but also a call to action — one that strengthens India’s commitment to Ghana’s progress and shared global goals.
The Indian leader’s visit to Ghana was marked by high-level talks aimed at expanding cooperation between the two countries. Both governments have expressed a shared interest in building resilient partnerships across trade, clean energy, digital infrastructure, and education.
India’s presence in Ghana’s development journey has been significant. Projects such as the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT, the Elmina Fish Processing Plant, the Komenda Sugar Factory, and the Tema-Mpakadan railway project serve as lasting examples of India’s investment in Ghana’s industrial and technological advancement.
