Ghana is seeking closer technology and investment ties with Pakistan as part of efforts to deepen skills development and accelerate digital transformation, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, said after bilateral talks with Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Najeeb Durrani.
The discussions, held at the ministry’s headquarters in Accra, centered on cooperation in digital technology, skills training and investment, with an emphasis on tapping Pakistan’s experience in delivering technology solutions tailored to developing economies.
Officials also explored areas where Pakistani firms could partner with Ghanaian institutions to expand local capacity and deploy cost-effective digital tools.
According to Sam George, Ghana remains open to working with a wide range of international partners, noting that his focus since taking office has been on collaborations that produce measurable results. These include skills transfer, local capacity building and the sustainable adoption of technology, rather than stand-alone projects with limited long-term impact.
He also pointed to Ghana’s interest in moving beyond conventional technology models toward more innovative and scalable interventions, including the effective use of emerging technologies to support public services and private-sector growth.
For Ghana, the engagement aligns with broader efforts to position the country as a regional digital hub, while attracting investment that supports job creation and the development of domestic tech capabilities. Pakistan, which has a growing technology services sector, is looking to expand its footprint in African markets through partnerships and investment.
