{{Politics of Ghana}}
The '''foreign relations of Ghana''' are controlled by the [[Minister for Foreign Affairs (Ghana)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ghana]]. Ghana is active in the [[United Nations]] and many of its specialised agencies, the [[World Trade Organization]], the [[Non-Aligned Movement]], the [[Organisation of African Unity]] (OAU), the [[African Union]] (AU) and the [[Economic Community of West African States]]. Ghana generally follows the consensus of the Non-aligned Movement and the OAU on economic and political issues not directly affecting its own interests. Ghana has been extremely active in international [[peacekeeping]] activities under UN auspices in [[Lebanon]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Rwanda]], and the [[Balkans]], in addition to an eight-year sub-regional initiative with its ECOWAS partners to develop and then enforce a cease-fire in [[Liberia]]. Ghana is also a member of the [[International Criminal Court]].

==Guiding principles and objectives==
Ghana's foreign policy since independence has been characterised by a commitment to the principles and ideals of non-alignment and Pan-Africanism as first enunciated by Kwame Nkrumah in the early 1960s. For Nkrumah, non-alignment meant complete independence from the policies and alliances of both East and West and support for a worldwide union of so-called non-aligned nations as a counter to both East and West power blocs. Pan-Africanism, by contrast, was a specifically African policy that envisioned the independence of Africa from Western colonialism and the eventual economic and political unity of the African continent.<sup>[1]</sup>

The PNDC, like most of its predecessors, made serious and consistent attempts at the practical application of these ideals and principles, and its successor, the NDC government, promises to follow in the PNDC's footsteps. Under the NDC, Ghana remains committed to the principle of non-alignment in world politics. Ghana is also opposed to interference in the internal affairs of both small and large countries. This is a departure from Nkrumah's foreign policy approach; Nkrumah was frequently accused of subverting African regimes, such as Togo and Ivory Coast, which he considered ideologically conservative. The NDC government, like the PNDC before it, believes in the principle of self-determination, including the right to political independence and the right of people to pursue their economic and social development free from external interference. Another feature of NDC rule carried over from the PNDC era is faithfulness to what a leading scholar of Africa has called "one of the most successful neoclassical economic reform efforts supported by the IMF and the World Bank."<ref name="cs">Owusu, Maxwell.

The broad objectives of Ghana's foreign policy thus include maintaining friendly relations and cooperation with all countries that desire such cooperation, irrespective of ideological considerations, on the basis of mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Africa and its liberation and unity are naturally the cornerstones of Ghana's foreign policy. As a founding member of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), NDC policy is to adhere faithfully to the OAU Charter.<ref name=cs/>

Another important principle of Ghana's foreign policy involves the closest possible cooperation with neighbouring countries with which the people of Ghana share cultural history, ties of blood, and economics. The results have included various bilateral trade and economic agreements and permanent joint commissions involving Ghana and its immediate neighbours, sometimes in the face of latent ideological and political differences and mutual suspicion, as well as numerous reciprocal state visits by high-ranking officials. These measures have contributed significantly to subregional cooperation, development, and the reduction of tension.<ref name=cs/>

[[File:Diplomatic missions of Ghana.PNG|thumb|200px|right|[[List of diplomatic missions of Ghana|Diplomatic missions of Ghana]] ]]

As an example of Ghana's interest in regional cooperation, the country enthusiastically endorsed formation of the [[Economic Community of West African States]] (ECOWAS) in 1975. This organisation was created specifically to foster inter-regional economic and political cooperation. It has served as a useful vehicle for contacts with neighbouring West African governments and for channelling increased Ghanaian exports to regional markets. Since 1990 ECOWAS has been engaged in a peacekeeping mission in Liberia to which Ghana has contributed a large contingent of troops. Ghana has participated in other international peacekeeping efforts as well, sending soldiers to operations of the United Nations (UN) in Cambodia in 1992-93 and Rwanda in 1993–94.<ref name=cs/>

In August 1994, Rawlings became ECOWAS chairman, a post that had eluded him since the PNDC came to power. He immediately undertook several initiatives to reduce tensions and conflict in West Africa. Notable among them was the Akosombo Accord of September 12, designed to end civil war in Liberia.<ref name=cs/>

|{{flag|Burkina Faso}}||{{dts|12 June 1961}}||See [[Burkina Faso–Ghana relations]]
With the coming to power of [[Thomas Sankara]] in Burkina Faso in 1983, relations between Ghana and Burkina became both warm and close. Indeed, [[Jerry Rawlings|Rawlings]] and Sankara began discussions about uniting Ghana and Burkina in the manner of the defunct [[Ghana-Guinea-Mali Union]], which Nkrumah had sought unsuccessfully to promote as a foundation for his dream of unified continental government. Political and economic ties between Ghana and Burkina, a poorer country, were strengthened through joint commissions of cooperation and through border demarcation committee meetings. Frequent high-level consultations and joint military exercises, meant to discourage potential dissidents and to protect young "revolutions" in each country, were fairly regular features of Ghana-Burkina relations.<ref name="cs3">Owusu, Maxwell. "Burkina". ''A Country Study: Ghana'' (La Verle Berry, editor). [[Library of Congress]] [[Federal Research Division]] (November 1994).

|{{flag|Ivory Coast}}||15 March 1961||See [[Ivory Coast–Ghana relations]]
Both countries established diplomatic relations on 15 March 1961.<ref name="news.abidjan.net"/>

Ghana-Ivory Coast relations suffered from the same ups and downs that characterised Ghana-Togo relations. In early 1984, the PNDC government complained that Ivory Coast was allowing Ghanaian dissidents to use its territory as a base from which to carry out acts of [[sabotage]] against Ghana.  Ghana also accused Ivory Coast of granting [[Right of asylum|asylum]] to political agitators wanted for crimes in Ghana. Relations between Ghana and Ivory Coast improved significantly, however, after 1988.  In 1989, after fifteen years of no progress, the Ghana-Ivory Coast border re-demarcation commission finally agreed on the definition of the 640-kilometer border between the two countries. The PNDC thereafter worked to improve the [[transportation]] and [[communication]] links with both Ivory Coast and Togo, despite problems with both countries.<ref name="cs4">Owusu, Maxwell.

|{{flag|Nigeria}}||1 October 1960||See [[Ghana–Nigeria relations]]
Ghana set up a commission in 1959 when Nigeria was still a dependent territory. This was elevated to High Commission status on the attainment of Nigeria's independence on 1 October 1960<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dei-Anang |first=Michael |title=The Administration of Ghana's Foreign Relations, 1957-1965 A Personal Memoir |publisher=University of London, The Athlone Press published for the Institute of Commonwealth Studies |year=1975 |pages=76}}</ref>

Despite close cultural ties, diplomatic relations between the two countries have in many instances been volatile. After the takeover in November 1993 by General [[Sani Abacha]] as the new Nigerian head of state, Ghana and Nigeria continued to consult on economic, political, and security issues affecting the two countries and West Africa as a whole.

The strains in Ghana-Togo relations stretch back to pre-independence days. After 1918, following the defeat of Germany, the [[League of Nations]] divided the German colony of [[Togoland]] from north to south, a decision that divided the Ewe people among the [[Gold Coast (British colony)|Gold Coast]], [[British Togoland]], and [[French Togoland]]. After 1945, the [[United Nations]] took over the Togoland mandates.  During the 1950s, when the independence of Ghana was in sight, demands grew for a separate Ewe state, an idea that [[Kwame Nkrumah]], leader of the Gold Coast independence movement, opposed.  Following a UN plebiscite in May 1956, in which a majority of the Ewe voted for union with Ghana, British Togoland became part of the Gold Coast.<ref name=cs/><ref name="bbc">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4273845.stm|title=Impressions of Togo after the 'coup'|date=18 February 2005|via=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>  After Togolese independence in 1960, relations between Togo and Ghana deteriorated, aggravated by political differences and incidents such as [[smuggling]] across their common border. At times, relations have verged on open aggression.<ref name=cs4/> The result of the transfer of Togoland to Ghana has meant that many Togolese keep one foot on either side of the border, living in Ghana by night and working in the markets of the capital, [[Lomé]], by day.<ref name="bbc"/>

The United States is among Ghana's trading partners. The Office of the President of Ghana worked closely with the U.S. Embassy in Accra to establish an American Chamber of Commerce to continue to develop closer economic ties in the private sector. Major U.S. companies operating in the country include ACS, CMS Energy, Coca-Cola, S.C. Johnson, Ralston Purina, Star-Kist, A.H. Robins, Sterling, Pfizer, IBM, 3M, Motorola, Stewart & Stevenson, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and National Cash Register (NCR). Several U.S. firms recently made or are considering investments in Ghana, primarily in gold mining, wood products, and petroleum. U.S. mining giant Newmont entered Ghana's mining sector in 2004 and intends to invest up to $1 billion. In late 1997, Nuevo Petroleum concluded an oil exploration agreement accounting for one of Ghana's offshore mineral rights zones. Several other U.S. oil companies also are engaged in offshore exploration.
