On 12 October 2026, H.E. Mr. Sihasak Phuangketkeow, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held discussions with H.E. Mrs. Florence Buerki Akonor, Ambassador of the Republic of Ghana to Thailand with residence in Kuala Lumpur, during her farewell courtesy call prior to the conclusion of her tour of duty at the end of October 2026.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his appreciation to the Ambassador for her active role in promoting cooperation between Thailand and Ghana throughout her tenure. He also reaffirmed Thailand's readiness to advance the Thailand - Africa Initiative (TAI) and its commitment to continuing bilateral cooperation to promote mutual growth and development.

The Deputy Prime Minister also highlighted Ghana’s economic potential and the opportunities it offers for Thai businesses seeking to expand their investments in West Africa. Major Thai companies, including Thai Union in the seafood industry and Indorama in the plastic bottles industry, have already invested in Ghana.

Both sides welcomed the continued development of relations between Thailand and Ghana and agreed to further promote cooperation in areas of mutual potential, particularly trade and investment, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experience in rice cultivation, an area in which Thailand has extensive expertise.
