President John Dramani Mahama has conferred Ghana’s highest national honour, the Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana, on the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, during the latter’s two-day official visit to Ghana.
The award was presented at a state banquet hosted in honour of Prime Minister Modi, in recognition of his exemplary leadership and commitment to strengthening economic and diplomatic ties between India and Ghana. The gesture also served as a symbolic tribute to the 1.4 billion people of India.
According to the government, the honour underscores India’s unwavering support for Ghana’s development and Prime Minister Modi’s personal contribution to boosting economic cooperation between the two countries.
President Mahama received the Indian leader at the airport with full state honours, including a guard of honour and cultural performances, ahead of bilateral talks at the Jubilee House.
India has been a key development partner to Ghana, providing credit facilities and grants that have supported landmark projects such as the Jubilee House, Komenda Sugar Factory, Tema-Mpakadan Railway Line, and the Yendi Water Supply Project.
During the visit, both countries signed several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at deepening cooperation in key sectors including health, education, trade, agriculture, and security.
President Mahama described the visit as “historic” and a major step toward deepening Ghana–India relations. He called for enhanced investment collaboration and broad-based support for Ghana’s economic reset agenda.
