The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Boundary Commission, Major General Emmanuel Kotia, has disclosed that the land boundary reaffirmation between Ghana and Cote D' Ivoire will be finalised by 2025.
At a joint technical meeting held on Monday, November 5, 2024, he stated the two countries have agreed to abide by and implement the decision of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) regarding their longstanding maritime boundary dispute. "For this meeting, we are particularly interested in ratifying some of the framework and agreements that we are going to work with Cote d'Ivoire.
We will also come up with a plan of action about how to implement the ruling that was undertaken some years back. "One of the key areas is that we will have joint maritime patrols along the international boundary line to ensure that the international boundary line is intact.
We are adhering to the ruling by the ITLOS tribunal, the second one has to do with reaffirmation of our international boundary.
