Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is currently in Brussels, Belgium, where she is leading Ghana’s delegation at the 2025 Global Gateway Forum, a premier event organized by the European Union (EU).

This two-day forum, scheduled for October 9 to 10, 2025, will convene Heads of State and Government, business leaders, civil society organizations, and financial institutions to discuss methods for enhancing global partnerships in an increasingly multipolar landscape.

The theme for this year’s forum centers on promoting global connectivity in light of current geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, with anticipated discussions focusing on sustainable investments in energy, digital technology, infrastructure, education, and health.

The Global Gateway Initiative embodies the EU’s strategic endeavor to foster smart, clean, and secure connections across vital sectors while facilitating resilient and inclusive growth on a global scale.

As stated by the organizers, the forum aims to mobilize up to €300 billion in investments to encourage sustainable development and equitable partnerships between Europe and the rest of the world.

The Vice President’s involvement highlights Ghana’s steadfast commitment to establishing strategic partnerships that propel digital innovation, energy transition, and economic transformation.

The 2025 edition is anticipated to enhance these engagements and fortify cooperation with both African and global partners.
