Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said Saturday that Russia agreed to work with Ghana on a 2,000-megawatt nuclear power plant, which he linked to energy security and industrial growth.
Ablakwa said the agreement followed talks at the Russia-Africa Summit. He announced it in a post on X.
Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear corporation, had said a day earlier that Ghana was among four African countries where it was discussing large nuclear projects. EconoTimes previously covered Rosatom's nuclear project talks in Africa.
Reuters also reported plans for a pact concerning Ghanaian military assets, Russian support for Ghana's agriculture sector and expanded scholarships for Ghanaian students in Russia.
Ablakwa separately said Russian President Vladimir Putin had ruled out Ghanaian participation in the war in Ukraine, including through unofficial recruitment or voluntary enlistment.
