President John Dramani Mahama and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have agreed to deepen bilateral ties with a strong focus on agricultural and food security collaboration.
In a phone conversation held between the two leaders, both sides emphasized the need to develop joint initiatives in the agro-industrial sector.
A key outcome of the talks was an agreement to convene a ministerial-level meeting to begin practical work toward strengthening cooperation in agriculture.
President Zelenskyy revealed that a Ukrainian delegation will soon visit Ghana to explore areas of mutual interest and advance discussions. One of the major initiatives discussed was the establishment of a logistics hub for food storage in Ghana—an effort the Ukrainian leader expressed readiness to support.
The hub, once established, is expected to improve food supply chains, reduce post-harvest losses, and contribute to regional food stability, especially in West Africa.
While agriculture was the central focus, the two leaders also discussed potential cooperation in technology, particularly Ghana’s interest in Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for monitoring and securing its northern borders.
President Mahama invited Zelenskyy to visit Ghana, an invitation which was warmly received, with both leaders agreeing to meet in person in the near future to advance discussions.
