The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ghana expressed satisfaction with the high pace of reforms in Kyrgyzstan, including the fight against corruption and the protection of national interests, particularly in the context of the "Kumtor" issue. He highlighted construction, digitalization, tourism, and the agro-industrial complex as key areas for joint work.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Sadyr Japarov and Samuel Ablakwa expressed hope that this visit would mark the beginning of a new era in the development of friendly and business relations between Kyrgyzstan and Ghana.
