Ghana and Norway have taken a significant step to strengthen their partnership with the signing of a Political Consultations Agreement on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The agreement, inked on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, by Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa, ushers in a new era of cooperation between the two nations.
The deal aims to deepen collaboration in strategic sectors such as oil and gas, trade facilitation, education, agribusiness, artificial intelligence (AI), maritime security, the blue economy, and intelligence sharing. This expanded scope reflects the evolving priorities and ambitions of both countries.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Ghana’s delegation and Norway’s Minister of International Development, Mr. Åsmund Grøver Aukrust, who played a pivotal role in finalising the agreement and was commended for his efforts.
Beyond bilateral relations, the agreement commits Ghana and Norway to a joint leadership role on the global stage. Both countries will continue to serve as co-chairs of the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, championing responsible stewardship of ocean resources.
Officials hailed the agreement as a milestone, noting that it not only strengthens ties between Ghana and Norway but also enables the two nations to collaborate closely on shared global priorities, particularly sustainable development and environmental protection.
