Bawumia engages EU envoys on security, investment and economic cooperation

Former Vice-President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, has held a high-level meeting with European Union ambassadors in Accra, focusing on strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between Ghana and Europe.

The meeting, which took place on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, was hosted at the residence of the Italian Ambassador and brought together heads of mission from ten EU member states, alongside representatives of the European Union.

Countries represented at the engagement included Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malta, reflecting a broad cross-section of the EU’s diplomatic presence in Ghana.

Discussions at the breakfast meeting centred on shared priorities such as regional security, economic cooperation and expanding investment opportunities, as both sides explored ways to deepen collaboration in key sectors.

Dr Bawumia used the platform to reaffirm his commitment to strengthening Ghana’s democratic institutions and sustaining economic growth, while also highlighting the importance of inclusive development in addressing social and economic challenges.

The engagement comes at a time when Ghana continues to seek stronger partnerships with international allies to support its economic recovery and attract foreign investment.

He was accompanied to the meeting by former NPP National Chairman, Peter Mac Manu, and diplomat Emmanuel Enos.
