Ghana and South Korea have signed a historic visa waiver agreement for holders of diplomatic and service passports, marking a major milestone in bilateral relations between the two countries and reinforcing Ghana's growing reputation as one of Africa's most diplomatically open nations.
The agreement was announced by Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, following a signing ceremony held on the sidelines of the ongoing Africa-Korea Foreign Ministers Meeting.
According to Ablakwa, the agreement is the first visa waiver arrangement signed between Ghana and South Korea in almost five decades of formal diplomatic relations.
"Ghana and South Korea today signed a historic Visa Waiver Agreement for holders of Diplomatic and Service Passports," the minister wrote on X, adding that negotiations would continue to extend the arrangement to holders of ordinary passports.
The agreement was signed by Ablakwa and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and is expected to facilitate official travel, strengthen diplomatic engagement, and deepen cooperation between the two countries.
