Mahama & Bio Hold Key Trade, Development Talks

President Mahama Engages in High-Level Trade and Development Talks with Sierra Leone’s President Bio

In an effort to improve diplomatic and commercial relations between the two West African countries, President John Dramani Mahama has started an official trip to Sierra Leone. The long-standing connection and shared dedication to regional development between Ghana and Sierra Leone are highlighted by this visit.

The conversations will center on important topics like commerce, infrastructure development, and regional collaboration, according to Joyce Bawah Mogtari, President Mahama’s Special Aide. It is anticipated that the discussions would strengthen economic ties that will promote stability and growth for both nations.

This diplomatic encounter comes after President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone visited Ghana earlier this year. President Bio strengthened the close ties between the two countries by attending Mahama’s inauguration in January 2025. The two leaders are anticipated to build on this relationship by looking for ways to work together more effectively on social infrastructure and economic advancement.

Ghana and Sierra Leone are important contributors to the subregion’s peace, security, and economic development as major members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). In addition to helping both countries, strengthening bilateral connections will advance the goal of regional integration.

This visit marks another milestone in Ghana’s foreign policy strategy under President Mahama’s leadership, reflecting a commitment to deepening international partnerships and driving sustainable development in West Africa.
