Ghana, Kyrgyzstan Sign Visa Waiver for Diplomatic and Service Passport Holders

Ghana and Kyrgyzstan have entered a visa waiver agreement for holders of diplomatic and service passports.

This is an interim measure as both countries plan to expand to ordinary passport holders in the near future, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said in a statement during a visit to the country.

According to him, the agreement demonstrates resolve and trust as friendly nations.

In addition, he said a second agreement to establish formal political consultations was signed to explore diversified markets for Ghana’s growing economy.

“We are excited about this new South-South cooperation with our friends who were recently accorded AU observer status.”

These agreements were officially signed on March 16 when the Ghanaian Foreign Minister was hosted on an official visit to Kyrgyzstan.

“I am most grateful to President Sadyr Japarov and Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubayev for their warm invitation and incredible hospitality.”
