Ghana and South Korea have signed a visa waiver agreement for holders of diplomatic and service passports, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa confirmed on Monday.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the FM stated that the two countries will continue the discussion to bring on board holders of ordinary passports.
The agreement, according to the minister, is the first between the two nations in almost 50 years of formal bilateral relations.
“Ghana and South Korea today signed a historic visa waiver agreement for holders of diplomatic and service passports. I am delighted we are delivering on key priorities following the working visit of President Mahama to South Korea in March this year,” read the post.
Relations between Ghana and South Korea, which date back to the 1960s, have centered on economic cooperation, development assistance, and technological partnerships.
The agreement was signed by Ablakwa and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and is expected to facilitate official travel, strengthen diplomatic engagement, and deepen cooperation between the two countries. Enditem
