John Dramani Mahama and Terrance Michael Drew have signed a visa exemption agreement allowing holders of ordinary passports from Ghana and Saint Kitts and Nevis to travel between the two countries without visas.
The agreement, signed at Jubilee House in Accra during Prime Minister Drew’s four-day state visit, expands a previous 2018 arrangement that covered only diplomatic and service passport holders.
The two leaders also signed a bilateral labour agreement aimed at facilitating the recruitment of Ghanaian medical professionals to the Caribbean nation.
President Mahama described the visa waiver extension as a significant step that will boost tourism, trade, business exchanges and people-to-people relations between the two countries.
Both sides also discussed deeper cooperation in areas including tourism, climate-resilient agriculture, renewable energy, the blue economy, heritage promotion and cultural industries.
The agreements are expected to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties as the two nations pursue greater South-South cooperation.
