Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang departed Ghana for Guyana to participate in activities marking the country’s 60th Independence Anniversary celebrations.

The Vice President left Ghana on Sunday, May 24, as part of Ghana’s representation at the historic national event being commemorated by the government and people of Guyana.

Upon her arrival, she was received by Nii Amasah Namoale, Ghana’s Ambassador to Brazil, together with members of the diplomatic team.

She was also welcomed by Guyana’s Minister for Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson, as well as members of the Ghanaian community living in Guyana, who gathered to receive her.

The visit forms part of efforts to strengthen diplomatic relations and deepen historical ties between Ghana and Guyana, two countries that share longstanding cultural and historical connections rooted in African heritage.

The anniversary celebrations are anticipated to feature a series of official state events, cultural showcases, and engagements highlighting Guyana’s history, achievements, and future aspirations.

Ghana and Guyana have maintained cordial diplomatic relations over the years, with both countries continuing to explore opportunities for collaboration across several sectors of mutual interest.

Guyana, which gained independence from British colonial rule in 1966, is celebrating six decades of nationhood this year, with activities attracting participation from leaders and representatives from different parts of the world.
