Ghana to formally apply to join BRICS after Cabinet approval – Ablakwa

Mr Ablakwa said the decision forms part of government’s broader strategy to diversify Ghana’s international partnerships, expand economic opportunities and strengthen cooperation with countries in the Global South.

Mr Ablakwa explained that the decision is anchored in the government’s vision of diversifying Ghana’s international cooperation while pursuing what it describes as a new economic agenda.

According to the Foreign Affairs Minister, India’s role will be particularly important in the process, given its membership of BRICS and Ghana’s longstanding diplomatic and economic relationship with New Delhi.
