The UK and Ghana have a strong, wide-ranging partnership and cooperate closely on areas of mutual interest. The Minister of State for Development and Africa was pleased to visit Ghana in December 2022 to co-host the UK-Ghana Business Council and meet with senior figures. Minister Mitchell looks forward to the next meeting which will take place later this year. In addition, we hosted the second UK-Ghana Security Dialogue in London in July 2022, where we agreed steps to advance our bilateral cooperation to tackle organised crime and terrorism. In November 2022 the Minister for Armed Forces attended the Accra Initiative conference in Ghana, to express the UK's commitment to supporting regional stability.
