India will also have talks about bringing UPI and digital payment system to Ghana, so that digital transactions in both countries can be easier. Modi and Mahama will also hold a joint press conference together.
PM Modi will address Ghana’s Parliament and 15000 people from the Indian community living there. Ghana President Mahama will also organize a state dinner in honor of PM Modi.
India gave 6 lakh vaccine to Ghana during Kovid period
India and Ghana have been strong supporters of each other on international forums. The two countries are members of the Non -Aligned Movement (NAM) and work together in organizations such as the United Nations. Ghana has supported India’s claim of permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council.
Both countries stand with each other on climate change, terrorism and other global issues. During the Kovid-19 epidemic, India gave Ghana vaccine and medical help. India gave Ghana 6 lakh Kovid vaccine.
Ghana got freedom on Gandhi’s ideals
Quame Encrms was the biggest leader of Ghana, also known as ‘Mahatma Gandhi of Africa’. He read Gandhiji’s views while studying in America and was very impressed with him. After this, he came to Ghana and formed the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and started the freedom struggle in the country.
Encrama used Gandhian methods such as non -violence, unity and civil disobedience for this. Encrms believed that without a peaceful movement against British rule without violence, Ghana could become free, as Gandhi did in India.
Encrms appealed to a strike across the country in 1950 under the name ‘Positive Action’. For this, he also had to go to jail, but this further increased his popularity. On 6 March 1957, Ghana became the first country in Africa under the leadership of Encrama to gain independence from Britain.
Ghana’s independence affected the whole of Africa. Therefore, the demand for independence in other countries also intensified. A few years later, many countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania gained independence from British, French or Belgian colonialism.
