Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has expressed Ghana’s interest in exploring nuclear energy cooperation with the United States as both countries work to strengthen their bilateral relations.
He made the remarks during a farewell meeting with outgoing US Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to Ghana, Rolf Olson, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Accra on Monday, November 9, 2026, marking the end of Mr Olson’s diplomatic assignment in the country.

The Minister reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to sustaining friendly relations with the United States and expanding collaboration at both bilateral and multilateral levels.
He further assured that the incoming US Consul would enjoy the same level of cooperation and support that had been extended to Mr Olson throughout his tenure.

In his remarks, Mr Olson expressed gratitude to the Minister, the Ghanaian government and the people of Ghana for their cooperation and hospitality during his time in the country.
He also underscored the importance of the longstanding partnership between the two nations and expressed optimism that their relations would continue to grow stronger.
