Ghanian position of neutrality is paying off as the Ghanian President was invited to visit Iran by the Iranian govt to discus and finalize trade discussions between the two countries.

The talks will include everything from Agriculture, medical, military and economic bilateral agreements.


So while the old senile fool was quick to side blindly with Saudi Arabia and order out killings of Shiites thereby alienating Iran, the Ghanians are making economic in-roads with a regional power.


How daft is this Buhari ?

TEHRAN (FNA)- Ghana President John Mahama is scheduled to visit Tehran on Saturday at the top of an politico-economic delegation, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian said.
“President Mahama has been invited by President Hassan Rouhani and plans to meet with senior officials," Amir Abdollahian said.

President Mahama is the first African president visiting Iran after implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Mahama will be accompanied by a number of ministers and private sector businessmen during his visit, Abdollahian said, adding that there will be more African officials visiting the Iranian capital in the coming weeks.

According to Abdollahian, the two sides' talks will discuss cooperation in energy, oil, economy, agriculture, and development of natural resources.

Ghana and relations with the Islamic Republic date back to the co–founding of the Non-Aligned Movement by the 1st President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah in 1961 and President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama described Iran-Ghana relations as historic, and expressed the accomplishments on lifting of ties to a higher level.

Iran and the 6th President of Iran and 30th Secretary-General of the NAM Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Ghana prior to being succeeded in term of office by the 7th President of Iran and 31st Secretary-General of the NAM Hassan Rouhani.

In recent years, Iran has sought hard to boost ties and cooperation with Africa.

Iran is an observing member of the African Union (AU) and has shown an active presence in previous AU summit meetings.

In December, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called for widening cooperation with Africa

"Africa is of paramount importance in Iran's foreign policy," Zarif said in a meeting with visiting Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Mahboub Maalim in Tehran.
