The European Union (EU) has pledged to deepen its security collaboration with Ghana following the appointment of Dr. Edward Omane Boamah as the country’s new Minister for Defence.

The EU Delegation to Ghana extended its congratulations to Dr. Omane Boamah, who was officially sworn into office last week by President John Dramani Mahama, marking a new chapter in Ghana’s defence and security leadership.

Reaffirming its commitment to Ghana’s security, the EU emphasized its longstanding role as a "trusted and reliable security partner" to the country.

Over the years, the EU has played a crucial role in supporting Ghana’s military through strategic partnerships in peace, security, and defence. This collaboration has facilitated the supply of essential military equipment and resources tailored to strengthen Ghana’s defence operations and regional stability.

As part of this continued partnership, discussions are expected between the Minister and the EU delegation regarding the delivery of military equipment at the end of February, forming part of a €50 million defence package aimed at enhancing Ghana’s security infrastructure.
