Canadian High Commissioner Calls on Interior Minister to Deepen Security Cooperation

The Canadian High Commissioner to Ghana, H.E. Myriam Montrat, has paid a courtesy call on the Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, to discuss areas of mutual interest and explore opportunities for enhanced cooperation in peace and security.

The meeting provided an opportunity for both sides to exchange views on emerging security challenges and the importance of strengthening international collaboration in addressing threats that increasingly transcend national borders.

Hon. Muntaka noted that security challenges can no longer be effectively dealt with by individual countries in isolation, stressing the need for countries to work together to protect their citizens and maintain peace and stability.

He expressed Ghana’s readiness to deepen collaboration with Canada in areas of mutual interest, noting that the Ministry is ready to engage with its Canadian counterparts on initiatives that would strengthen Ghana’s security architecture.

The discussions also focused on Canada’s experience in peace and security, particularly the role of the Canada Border Services Agency in border management and intelligence.

The meeting further highlighted existing collaboration between Canadian counterparts and Ghanaian security institutions, including the Ghana Police Service, the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Ghana Immigration Service and other security agencies.

Both sides expressed commitment to building on existing engagements and identifying practical areas through which Ghana-Canada security cooperation could be further strengthened.
