Ghana and Morocco have taken a significant step toward enhancing diplomatic and economic relations by agreeing to introduce a visa waiver for all categories of travelers.
The agreement, which is set to be presented to both nations' parliaments for ratification, aims to facilitate seamless travel and boost cooperation in various sectors.
The decision emerged from discussions between Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil on March 23. During their meeting, Ambassador Ouaadil also addressed concerns over recent viral videos alleging violence against Africans in Morocco. She clarified that the footage in circulation was from a past border incident on June 24, 2022, which led to the deaths of 23 individuals but did not involve any Ghanaian casualties.
Additionally, Morocco has announced a significant boost in educational support for Ghana, doubling scholarships for Ghanaian students from 90 to 180 this year.
"We have both additionally pledged to deepen collaboration in Agribusiness, Tourism, and Security," Ablakwa confirmed.
