Ghana and Trinidad and Tobago are seeking to deepen their economic relations, with fresh discussions focusing on attracting new investments and expanding cooperation in the oil and gas sector.The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, held discussions with his Trinidad and Tobago counterpart, Sean S.M. Sobers, on the sidelines of the just-ended Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda.The meeting provided an opportunity for both countries to assess progress in their bilateral relations and explore new areas of economic cooperation.Mr Ablakwa said the discussions centred on strengthening investment ties and expanding existing partnerships in the oil and gas industry.As part of efforts to deepen diplomatic relations, Ghana is expected to commission its new High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago next year.The mission will be headed by William Anani Abotsi, who is expected to become Ghana’s first High Commissioner to the Caribbean nation.Beyond its bilateral engagements, Ghana also used its participation at the Commonwealth meeting to advance discussions on issues affecting Africa and the wider international community.These included reforms to the United Nations, the reconfiguration of the international financial architecture, artificial intelligence regulation, climate justice, resource sovereignty, reparatory justice and conflict resolution.The engagements form part of Ghana’s broader diplomatic efforts to strengthen relations with international partners while advancing Africa’s interests in global governance.
