加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生对新加坡进行历史性国事访问期间，成功签署了价值 10 亿美元的标志性投资协议，这是加纳国家元首首次访问新加坡。

加纳外交部长 Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa 先生称此次访问 "具有历史意义且影响深远"，被视为 Mahama 总统旨在重振加纳经济的 "重置议程" 取得重大突破。

这些协议涵盖农业综合企业、酒店业、基础设施、交通运输、教育、技术和贸易便利化等关键领域，彰显了加纳与新加坡新型合作伙伴关系的广阔前景。

其中旗舰项目包括 OLAM 集团承诺向加纳新项目注资 2 亿美元，包括预计明年投产的 4.3 万吨面食加工厂，以及禽类和水产饲料加工设施。该计划预计创造约 4000 个就业岗位，将极大推动加纳的就业计划。

在酒店服务业领域，香格里拉集团承诺投资 3 亿美元在加纳首都阿克拉建造一座绿色环保的超现代化五星级酒店。该设施将包含一个展示本土与国际品牌的豪华购物中心，以及一个旨在将加纳打造为西非会议中心的会展场馆。该项目有望吸引全球商务旅游，同时提振加纳服务业发展。

其他投资项目包括为加纳大学建造可容纳万名学生的新宿舍区，该项目将有效缓解 Legon 校区长期存在的住宿紧张问题。

机场与港口投资

加纳科托卡国际机场将升级符合国际标准的安检扫描系统，以增强该国打击走私和毒品贩运的能力。

港口基础设施是本次合作的重点领域。双方就扩建特马港和重启特马干船坞达成协议，这两项工程对提升加纳贸易能力至关重要。此外，还将新建石油船舶专用码头，以完善加纳石油物流体系和离岸作业能力。

在交通领域，加纳将与新加坡陆路交通管理局合作，在全国范围内建立检测实验室。这些实验室将负责确保道路建设项目仅使用经过认证的优质材料，此举旨在解决加纳长期存在的道路耐久性差的问题。

金融合作、教育与技能培训

金融合作同样占据重要地位。加纳银行与新加坡金融管理局将共同推出统一支付平台，旨在加强非洲与亚洲之间的贸易往来。该举措有望降低交易成本并促进两大洲之间的资金流动。

在教育与技能培训方面，加纳将与新加坡理工学院合作，在技术与职业教育培训（TVET）框架下建立示范性的阿克拉理工学院。该项目符合政府为加纳青年提供与现代经济相关就业技能的方针。

通过执行双边碳信用协议下的项目，两国还探讨了环境可持续性问题，进一步强化了加纳对全球气候目标的承诺。

据加纳外交部长 Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa 先生透露，除投资计划外，两国还签署了定期高层政治磋商谅解备忘录，并同意完成《双边投资条约》（BIT）谈判，为投资保护提供更完善的法律框架。

此外，加纳通过为法证调查人员开展能力建设项目，获得了新加坡对 "追回所有赃物行动"（ORAL）的支持。

为改革加纳公共服务体系，Ablakwa 部长透露政府已启动新计划——18 名部委首席主任将于 2025 年 9 月赴新加坡参加领导力与知识共享集训营。该计划旨在提升公共行政领域的专业化、效率与创新能力。

"Mahama 总统宣布，加纳将在 2026 年前在新加坡设立领事馆。新加坡已在阿克拉设立 '新加坡企业发展局'，负责监管其在西非的投资组合。"

"正如新加坡总统尚达曼所言：'Mahama 总统肩负使命，他决心带领国家与年轻一代走向成功。'" 加纳外交部长 Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa 先生表示。

Ablakwa 外长强调，两国重启的合作关系兼具战略意义与象征意义。他特别提到加纳首任总统恩克鲁玛与新加坡建国总理李光耀的历史性友谊，两位领导人以频繁的思想交流著称。"我们两位现代建国之父...若看到加新高层关系重启并产生深远影响，定会欣喜万分。" 他感慨道。

外长强调，政府仍致力于确保加纳的外交策略持续取得实际成果。“我们将继续确保我们的外交策略带来加纳人民压倒性投票支持的转型与重启。” 他坚定表示。

对许多人而言，这 10 亿美元的计划是对 Mahama 总统领导下加纳经济重启的重要认可，也标志着投资者对该国日益增长的信心。

未来的挑战在于确保承诺的项目得到有效实施，为加纳人民和经济带来持久利益。

Ghana Secures $1bn Investment from Singapore during Mahama’s Visit

Ghana has secured a landmark US$1 billion worth of investment deals during President John Dramani Mahama’s historic State Visit to Singapore, the first ever by a Ghanaian Head of State.

The visit, which Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa described as both “historic and profoundly impactful,” is being celebrated as a major breakthrough for President Mahama’s Reset Agenda aimed at reviving the Ghanaian economy.

The agreements span critical sectors including agribusiness, hospitality, infrastructure, transport, education, technology, and trade facilitation, underscoring the broad scope of Ghana’s new partnership with Singapore.

Among the flagship projects is OLAM’s commitment to inject US$200 million into new ventures in Ghana. These include a 43,000-metric-ton pasta processing plant expected to open next year, as well as feed processing facilities for poultry and aquaculture. The initiative is projected to create approximately 4,000 jobs, a major boost to Ghana’s employment drive.

In the hospitality sector, Shangri-La has pledged to construct a US$300 million green, ultra-modern 5-Star Hotel in Accra. The facility will feature a grand mall showcasing both local and international brands, and a convention centre designed to position Ghana as the conference hub of West Africa. The project is expected to attract global business tourism while also bolstering Ghana’s service industry.

Other investments include the construction of a 10,000-capacity student hostel for the University of Ghana, a project expected to ease the perennial accommodation deficit on the Legon campus. 

Airport and Port Investment

The Kotoka International Airport will also benefit from an enhanced security and scanning system that aligns with international standards, intended to strengthen the country’s ability to combat smuggling and drug trafficking.

Port infrastructure is another focal point of the deals. Agreements were reached on the expansion of the Tema Port and the revival of the Tema dry dock, both seen as critical to boosting Ghana’s trade capacity. In addition, a new jetty for oil ships will be constructed, enhancing Ghana’s petroleum logistics and offshore operations.

In the transport sector, Ghana will collaborate with Singapore’s Land Transport Authority to establish testing laboratories across the country.  These labs will be tasked with ensuring that only certified quality materials are used in road construction projects, a move designed to address Ghana’s long-standing problem with poor road durability.

Financial cooperation, Educational and Skills Training

Financial cooperation also featured prominently. The Bank of Ghana and the Monetary Authority of Singapore will work together to launch a common payment platform aimed at strengthening trade and commerce between Africa and Asia. This initiative is expected to lower transaction costs and enhance financial flows across the two continents.

On education and skills training, Ghana will partner with the Singapore Institute of Technology to establish a model Accra Institute of Technology under a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) framework. This project aligns with the government’s focus on equipping young Ghanaians with employable skills relevant to a modern economy.

Environmental sustainability was also addressed through the execution of projects under a bilateral Carbon Credit Agreement, further strengthening Ghana’s commitment to global climate targets.

According to Hon. Ablakwa, beyond the investment packages, the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding for regular high-level political consultations and agreed to finalize negotiations on a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) to provide a stronger legal framework for protecting investments. 

Additionally, Ghana secured support from Singapore for the Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) through capacity building programmes for forensic investigators.

In a bid to transform Ghana’s public service, Hon. Ablakwa disclosed that  the government has launched a new initiative under which 18 Chief Directors of Ministries will travel to Singapore in September 2025 for an intensive leadership and knowledge-sharing bootcamp. The initiative is expected to enhance professionalism, efficiency, and innovation in public administration.

“President Mahama announced that Ghana is set to establish a Consulate in Singapore by 2026. Singapore has already opened Enterprise Singapore in Accra to oversee its West African investment portfolio.

“As President Tharman Shanmugaratnam of Singapore indicated, “President Mahama is a man on a mission. He is determined to see his country and its young population succeed.” Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said.

Ghana’s Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa noted that the renewed partnership is not only strategic but symbolic. 

He highlighted the historic friendship between Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah, and Singapore’s founding leader, Lee Kuan Yew, who were known for their frequent exchanges of ideas. “Our two modern founding fathers… will be exceedingly ecstatic with the rekindling of high-level impactful Ghana-Singapore relations,” he reflected.

He stressed that the government remains committed to ensuring that Ghana’s approach to diplomacy consistently delivers tangible results. “We shall continue to make sure our approach to diplomacy delivers the transformation and reset Ghanaians voted for, overwhelmingly,” he affirmed.

For many, the US$1 billion package represents a significant endorsement of Ghana’s economic reset under President Mahama and a signal of growing investor confidence in the country.

The challenge ahead lies in ensuring that the promised projects are implemented effectively, with lasting benefits for Ghana’s people and economy.
