Foreign Minister Senator Kamina Johnson Smith says Jamaica and Ghana have renewed their formal cooperation agenda after more than two decades, with the resumption of the Permanent Joint Commission for Cooperation, which will advance work in health, defence, trade, air services, culture, and education.

The Third Session of the Commission concluded in Accra on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, with the signing of two Memoranda of Understanding for Cooperation in health and defence.

Johnson Smith explains that the renewed Commission gives both countries a stronger basis for cooperation.
