The agreement followed a request by Slovakia's Ambassador-designate to Ghana, Martin Podstavek, during a meeting with Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in Accra on Monday.
Podstavek made the proposal while presenting his Open Letters to the minister, alongside three other non-resident ambassadors-designate representing Sweden, Finland and Thailand.
Beyond diplomatic cooperation, the Slovak envoy disclosed plans to organise a Ghana-Slovakia business forum within the next two weeks to identify investment opportunities and expand economic relations between both countries.
The proposed discussions will focus on potential investments in the automotive, banking and pharmaceutical industries, as well as plans to supply buses to Ghana and establish a vehicle assembly plant in the country.
According to Podstavek, the proposed assembly facility would contribute to Ghana's industrial development by creating jobs, strengthening technical expertise and encouraging greater local participation in the automotive sector.
Meanwhile, Ablakwa also received Open Letters from Sweden's Ambassador-designate, Anna Westerholm; Finland's Ambassador-designate, Sanna Selin; and Thailand's Ambassador-designate, Thirapath Mongkolnavin.
