Get ready to explore! Morocco and Ghana are on the verge of launching a bilateral visa waiver program, paving the way for easier travel between the two nations. According to Ghana's Foreign Affairs minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the agreement is in its early stages but is expected to be formally approved by both parliaments soon.
This exciting development aims to foster collaboration across various sectors, including agriculture, tourism, and national security. Morocco's ambassador to Ghana, Imane Ouaadil, has expressed her enthusiasm for the deepening relationship, describing talks as "fruitful and assuring."
Beyond tourism, the visa waiver program is also intended to enhance security for travelers from both countries, addressing concerns about regional conflicts and safety on the continent. Ambassador Ouaadil has also refuted claims of abuse against Ghanaians in Morocco, assuring that "all Africans living in Morocco are safe."
In a further show of goodwill, Morocco has doubled the number of scholarships available to Ghanaian students, increasing the opportunities for educational exchange. With easier travel and strengthened ties, Morocco and Ghana are opening new doors for tourism, collaboration, and cultural understanding.
