马哈马总统与日本首相石破茂举行了双边会谈，以推进加纳与日本在三个关键领域的合作：可可和增值、战略基础设施和民心相通。
总统目前正在日本参加 2025 年 8 月 20 日至 22 日在日本横滨举行的第九届非洲发展问题东京国际会议 （TICAD）。
加纳总统府发表的一份声明称，由于加纳供应了日本约 70% 的可可进口量，加纳邀请日本投资并与可可加工公司建立公私合作伙伴关系 （PPP），以改造工厂并深化加纳的加工。
两位领导人讨论了沃尔特湖上的沃利沃大桥，并对日本提供的112.39亿日元支持（2016年签署）表示赞赏。
马哈马总统重申加纳要求提供额外资金，特别是赠款，以缩小剩余的64%的采购缺口，并加快交付这一将山药、玉米和其他农产品从北部运往南部市场的重要环节。
他们注意到野口英世博士抵达加纳一百周年，以及 2027 年青年海外合作部队成立 50 周年，这是他们持久伙伴关系的重要里程碑。
日本重申，它愿意在基础设施方面与我们合作，并加快解决资金缺口。
他们还讨论了多边合作，包括支持日本候选人万国邮联国际局局长目木雅彦，以及日本对联合国安理会改革的立场。
马哈马总统说：“我感谢日本一脉相承的友谊，并期待着下一步采取具体措施，为加纳人提供就业机会、增值和互联互通。
Mahama holds Bilateral Talks with Japanese Prime Minister
President John Mahama has held bilateral talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to advance Ghana–Japan cooperation in three key areas: Cocoa and value addition, Strategic infrastructure and People-to-people ties.
The President is currently in Japan for the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), which is taking place in Yokohama, Japan, from August 20-22, 2025.
A statement issued by Ghana’s Presidency said with Ghana supplying about 70 per cent of Japan’s cocoa imports, Ghana invited Japanese investment and a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the Cocoa Processing Company to revamp the plant and deepen processing in Ghana.
The two leaders discussed the Volivo Bridge over the Volta Lake and expressed appreciation for Japan’s JPY 11.239 billion support (signed in 2016).
President Mahama reiterated Ghana’s request for additional funding, especially grants, to close the remaining 64 per cent procurement gap and speed delivery of this vital link for moving yams, maize and other produce from the north to markets in the south.
They noted the centenary of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi’s arrival in Ghana and the 50th anniversary of JOCV in 2027—important milestones in their enduring partnership.
Japan reaffirmed its readiness to work with us on infrastructure and to expedite solutions to funding gaps.
They also discussed multilateral cooperation, including support for Japan’s candidate, Masahiko Metoki, for Director General of the UPU International Bureau, and Japan’s positions on UN Security Council reform.
“I am grateful for Japan’s continued friendship and look forward to concrete next steps that deliver jobs, value addition, and connectivity for Ghanaians,” President Mahama said.
