The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced that Morocco and Ghana have agreed to initiate a visa waiver agreement for all categories of travelers from both countries.

The agreement, he said, would be presented to Parliament for ratification shortly.

“We have both additionally pledged to deepen collaboration in Agribusiness, Tourism and Security,” he said after holding discussions with the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil.

The minister, who shared this in a post on X on March 23, 2025, described the meeting as “fruitful and assuring”.

Ablakwa stated that the Moroccan Ambassador assured that Ghanaians and all Africans living in Morocco are safe contrary to the widely circulated videos on social media falsely claiming that some 700 Africans are being massacred.

“Apparently, the footage in issue is an old 24th June, 2022 border incident which led to the tragic, unfortunate and condemnable loss of 23 lives. That deplorable incident has since been investigated by Moroccan and Spanish authorities," the minister said.

“Her assurances come at a time when the Kingdom of Morocco has decided to double scholarships for Ghanaian students from 90 to 180 beginning this year,” he added.

Prior to the engagement with the Moroccan Ambassador, Okudzeto Ablakwa also hosted the Russian Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Sergei Berdnikov and discussed a wide range of issues under our bilateral cooperation.

“Ghana will continue to pursue our longstanding foreign policy of positive neutrality, and serve as a credible voice for global peace,” he said.
