Ghana-Russia trade hits $800m as Moscow seeks deeper economic partnership

Mr Ordash said his vision was for Ghana-Russia economic relations to reach a new level, marked by increased trade volumes, operational joint ventures, and expanded private-sector collaboration.

The Ambassador said Russia’s strategy was to move beyond traditional trade by promoting long-term investments, joint ventures and technology partnerships capable of creating jobs and supporting Ghana’s industrial transformation.

Russia has positioned itself as a key partner for Africa under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), while Ghana, as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat, is leveraging its strategic location to attract foreign investment into manufacturing and logistics.
