Ghana and Algeria have signed a visa waiver agreement aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.
The agreement was finalized on Thursday, May 1, in Accra, according to Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
In addition to easing travel restrictions, the two countries agreed to expand scholarship opportunities for Ghanaian students in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and engineering. Plans are also underway to establish a direct flight route between Accra and Algiers.
Sharing details of the visit on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Minister Ablakwa described his recent official visit to Algiers as “exceedingly successful.” He noted that both governments had also agreed to launch a strategic partnership in oil and gas, enhance security cooperation and intelligence sharing, and revive the Joint Economic Cooperation framework.
