President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday held bilateral talks with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on the sidelines of TICAD-9, with discussions centring on multilateral cooperation, Ghana’s economic rebound, and escalating security challenges in West Africa.

Guterres commended Ghana’s active role in the UN system and its steady commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, while highlighting the country’s leadership within ECOWAS and the African Union in responding to Sahel-related crises.

He encouraged Mr Mahama to continue championing collective, regional solutions.

President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s unwavering support for multilateralism and called for further democratisation of the UN to enhance representativeness and effectiveness.

He noted that Ghana’s economy is recovering from a recent crisis, with debt restructuring advancing to secure long-term stability. The President also thanked the UN Development Programme for its sustained partnership, citing a recent UNDP-supported orientation for newly appointed ministers on the government’s “Resetting Ghana Agenda.”
