The meeting provided an opportunity for both sides to exchange views on emerging security challenges and the importance of strengthening international collaboration in addressing threats that increasingly transcend national borders.

Hon. Muntaka expressed Ghana’s readiness to deepen collaboration with Canada in areas of mutual interest, noting that the Ministry is happy to engage with its Canadian counterparts on initiatives that would strengthen Ghana’s security architecture.
The discussions also focused on Canada’s experience in peace and security, particularly the role of the Canada Border Services Agency in border management and intelligence.

Both sides expressed their commitment to building on existing engagements and identifying practical areas through which Ghana-Canada security cooperation could be further strengthened.
