The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has expressed Ghana's interest in exploring opportunities for cooperation with the United States in nuclear energy as the two countries seek to strengthen their bilateral relations.

He made the remarks when the outgoing United States Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to Ghana, Rolf Olson, paid a farewell call on him at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Accra on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the end of his tour of duty in the country.

Mr Ablakwa acknowledged Mr Olson's contribution to strengthening relations between Ghana and the United States, particularly in the areas of education and security.

He also expressed appreciation to the US government for its support in airlifting Ghanaian Armed Forces personnel and equipment to Jamaica to assist with humanitarian and reconstruction efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.

The Minister reiterated Ghana's commitment to maintaining cordial relations with the United States and deepening cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral levels.

He further assured that the incoming US Consul would receive the same level of support and cooperation extended to Mr Olson during his tenure.

For his part, Mr Olson thanked the Minister, the Ghanaian government and the people of Ghana for the cooperation and hospitality he received throughout his stay.

He reaffirmed the importance of the longstanding partnership between the two countries and expressed confidence in the continued strengthening of their relations.
