The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) hosted a South Korean business delegation in Accra as both countries work to strengthen trade and investment relations. During the Ghana–Korea Business Forum, GIPC CEO Simon Madjie emphasized that Ghana is open to new investment, highlighting regulatory reforms and large-scale economic programmes, including the proposed 24-Hour Economy and the Big Push infrastructure agenda, designed to attract foreign capital and support economic growth.
Members of Ghana’s parliament attending the forum reinforced the message of openness to private-sector participation. MPs Othniel Ekow Kwainoe and Alexander Roosevelt Hottordze noted the importance of the Korean delegation’s visit and expressed confidence that economic cooperation between Accra and Seoul would deepen in the coming years.
The Korean delegation, led by Mr. Choi, acknowledged the strong existing ties between the two countries and called for practical, sustainable collaboration, particularly in education and skills development. He emphasized that developing human capital would be essential to underpin long-term commercial partnerships between Ghana and South Korea.
GIPC’s head of investment promotion and business development, Kwame Kesse-Agyepong, presented Ghana as a gateway market for investors, citing its strategic location, growing middle-income population, and skilled labour force. He highlighted promising investment opportunities in infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism, sectors identified by the government as key to job creation and economic development.
