President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Singapore for a three-day state visit focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation and attracting new foreign investment into Ghana. The visit, officials say, is a strategic step toward expanding trade and building partnerships in education, science and innovation, urban solutions, agribusiness, and the digital economy.
Mahama will hold bilateral talks with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. He is also scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the 8th Africa–Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) and lead a Ghana country-specific Investment and Business Forum, which will bring together public- and private-sector leaders to unlock new opportunities between the two countries.
“Ghana and Singapore share a forward-looking outlook anchored in innovation, skills, and enterprise,” Mahama said on arrival. “This visit will translate our shared values into practical cooperation, bringing Singaporean investment and know-how into Ghana’s priority sectors while opening new pathways for Ghanaian businesses across Southeast Asia.”
The visit is critical to Ghana’s efforts to diversify its economy and strengthen investor confidence, to help Ghana compete to attract global capital. Singapore, with its expertise in technology, logistics, and urban development, is viewed as a valuable partner in helping Ghana accelerate growth and modernize key sectors.
The visit is expected to open doors for long-term partnerships, foreign direct investment, and expanded trade flows between Ghana and Singapore.
