Ablakwa disclosed that he held productive meetings with key German figures, including Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Joachim Stamp, the Special Representative of the Federal Government for Migration Agreements, and high-ranking officials from the German Interior Ministry.
The proposed agreement mirrors a similar pact recently signed between Germany and Kenya, which has facilitated structured labour migration.
“Germany is open to the idea of signing a labour mobility agreement with Ghana, which will allow thousands of Ghanaian youth to be employed in Germany under a special bilateral arrangement,” Ablakwa stated in a post on X.
He emphasized that the initiative aligns with President Mahama’s vision of “meaningful and impactful diplomacy” to tackle pressing challenges like unemployment.
“We expect actual implementation soon,” he added, expressing optimism about the agreement’s potential to deliver economic benefits for Ghanaian youth.
