Prime Minister of Grenada arrives in Ghana for two-day visit

Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell begins a two-day official visit to Ghana on Thursday, aimed at strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between the two nations.

The Prime Minister of Grenada, Dickon Amiss Thomas Mitchell, arrived in Accra on Thursday, October 16, 2025, for a two-day official visit to Ghana.

His visit marks a significant step in fostering deeper relations between the Caribbean island nation and Ghana.

Prime Minister Mitchell was welcomed by senior Ghanaian government officials and was accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Grenada’s Chief of Staff, Mr Teddy St Louis, and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Export Development, Mr Joseph Andall.

Shortly after his arrival, the Grenadian delegation participated in the inaugural Ghana–Grenada Political Consultation Meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.

This meeting is expected to lay the groundwork for future collaboration in areas such as trade, education, tourism, and cultural exchange.

The discussions reflect both countries’ commitment to South-South cooperation and the strengthening of ties between Africa and the Caribbean.

On Friday, October 17, President John Dramani Mahama will formally host Prime Minister Mitchell at the Jubilee House for bilateral talks.

These high-level discussions will focus on expanding economic partnerships, enhancing diplomatic engagement, and exploring joint initiatives in agriculture, climate resilience, and youth development.

Following the talks, President Mahama will host a State Luncheon in honour of the visiting Prime Minister, celebrating the shared heritage and aspirations of both nations.

Before departing Ghana later on Friday, Prime Minister Mitchell is scheduled to visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, a symbolic gesture that underscores the historical and ideological connections between Ghana and Grenada.

The visit is expected to deepen mutual understanding and pave the way for future exchanges in governance, development, and cultural diplomacy.

As both nations look to the future, this visit signals a renewed commitment to building bridges across the Atlantic and amplifying the voices of small states on the global stage.
