St. Kitts & Nevis and Ghana sign visa-free, labor accords
Prime Minister Terrance Drew of St. Kitts & Nevis visited Ghana this week, concluding a four-day official trip with three bilateral agreements covering visa-free travel, labor recruitment, and political cooperation.
Drew arrived March 3 and met with President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday. The talks focused on expanding ties between the two nations for mutual economic and diplomatic benefit.
The agreements signed include a memorandum of understanding establishing a formal political consultation mechanism, a visa-free travel accord for holders of ordinary passports, and a bilateral labor agreement facilitating the recruitment of Ghanaian medical professionals to address healthcare workforce shortages in St. Kitts & Nevis.
Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, received Drew upon arrival and attended the bilateral meeting alongside senior officials from both governments. The visit is part of a broader St. Kitts & Nevis initiative to deepen partnerships with African nations across healthcare, diplomacy, and labor mobility.
