Ghana has received an invitation to participate in the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula, a ten-point plan aimed at resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in discussions with Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during the 2024 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, emphasized the significance of Ghana's involvement in the peace process.
The Ukrainian Peace Formula addresses key areas such as food and energy security, territorial integrity, environmental safety, the release of prisoners, and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
President Zelenskyy commended Ghana's role as a beacon of peace and political stability in the sub-region, highlighting the country's history of cooperation and bilateral ties with the warring nations, particularly in education, science, and technology.
The meeting also explored ways to strengthen relations between Ukraine and Ghana, as well as other African countries.
Discussions included the education of Ghanaian students in Ukrainian higher educational institutions and the potential establishment of logistics hubs for trans-shipping Ukrainian agricultural products to African nations.
President Zelenskyy expressed appreciation for Ghana's support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity on the international stage.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has significantly impacted global prices, causing spikes in oil, natural gas, and food costs.
President Zelenskyy urged the global community to remain united in supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression and announced plans for a global summit on peace.
Ghana's delegation to the WEF engaged in discussions covering four key themes: achieving security and cooperation in a fractured world, creating growth and jobs for a new era, harnessing artificial intelligence for economic and societal development, and formulating a long-term strategy for climate, nature, and energy.
