印度外交部长S·贾伊尚卡尔周三指出，印度与加纳是历史悠久的合作伙伴，长期以来始终携手并肩，共同致力于维护全球南方国家的利益。他着重强调了两国在面临的挑战及发展重点方面的相似之处。
India and Ghana are historical partners and have long stood together as champions of the Global South, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Wednesday, as he underlined the similarities in the challenges and development priorities of both countries.
在访问西非国家加纳期间，贾伊尚卡尔与加纳外交部长塞缪尔·奥库泽托·阿布拉夸举行会谈。他表示，加纳推行的“阿克拉重启计划”“粮食保障计划”以及培养100万名编程人才的目标，与印度在医疗卫生、粮食安全及数字经济发展方面的举措不谋而合。
Speaking after talks with Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa during his visit to the West African nation, Jaishankar said programmes in Ghana such as Accra Reset, Feed Ghana and the goal of creating 1 million coders mirror Indian initiatives in health, food security and digital growth.
贾伊尚卡尔称，如今印度与加纳已建立起全方位的合作伙伴关系，双方应进一步推动双边关系迈上新台阶。会谈中，双方还探讨了在农业研究、教育及生物多样性领域的现有合作协议基础上，进一步拓展在制药与医疗、矿业、国防、铁路及数字产业等领域的合作。
Jaishankar said India and Ghana, which have established a comprehensive partnership, now need to take ties to the next level. He said the two sides discussed expanding cooperation beyond the agreements exchanged on agricultural research and education and biodiversity, with a focus on pharmaceuticals and health, mining, defence, railways and digital sectors.
贾伊尚卡尔于周二启程访问加纳，此行是他对非洲三国进行访问的第一站。他表示，此次首次到访加纳并延续印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪去年对加纳的历史性访问成果，令他倍感欣喜。2025年7月，莫迪对加纳进行了印度总理30年来首次对加纳的访问，也是印度总理首次对加纳进行双边访问。
Jaishankar, who arrived in Ghana on Tuesday on the first leg of his three-nation tour of African countries, said it was a pleasure to be there on his first visit to Ghana and to follow up on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic visit last year. Modi visited Ghana in July 2025 in what was his first bilateral visit to the country and the first prime ministerial visit from India to Ghana in three decades."
“从印度的视角来看，加纳无疑是我们的历史性伙伴。早在‘全球南方’这一概念出现之前，我们两国便已携手并肩，共同为维护全球南方国家的利益而努力，”贾伊尚卡尔说道。
Now, when we look at Ghana from an Indian perspective, of course, for us, you have been historic partners. We have both been champions of the Global South before that term was even invented," Jaishankar said.
他补充道：“我认为，在艰难的局势下，我们始终坚定支持那些曾遭受殖民统治国家的独立、自力更生与尊严。”他表示，鉴于两国已建立起全面伙伴关系，“我们必须不辜负这一期望”。谈及与阿布拉夸及约翰·德拉马尼·马哈马总统的会谈时，贾伊尚卡尔指出，加纳正在推进的诸多项目与印度的情况相似，因为发展中国家在诸多领域都面临着共同的挑战。
He added, "And we have, I think, in the world, in difficult circumstances, stood up for the independence and the self-reliance and the dignity of countries who were earlier colonised." He said that as both countries have established a comprehensive partnership, "we need to live up to that".Referring to his discussions with Ablakwa and President John Dramani Mahama, Jaishankar said many of the programmes being pursued in Ghana are similar to those in India because the developing world faces shared challenges in parallel areas.
“比如，旨在改善医疗状况的‘阿克拉复兴计划’，印度也有类似的‘阿尤什曼·巴拉特’计划；加纳推行了致力于保障粮食安全的‘粮食加纳’计划，而印度也有促进农民福祉及推广杂粮种植的相关项目。”他说道，“加纳提出了培养100万名编程人才的目标，印度同样实施了‘数字印度’与‘创业印度’计划。”鉴于这些相似之处，作为全球南方国家，印度与加纳自然应当共享经验，探讨如何相互支持。
"So whether it is a programme like Accra Reset, which deals with health, we have something similar in Ayushman Bharat. You have Feed Ghana, which focuses on food security; we have programmes dedicated to farmers' prosperity and the promotion of millets," he said. "You have the goal of 1 million coders; we have our programmes on Digital India and Startup India." He said that given these similarities, it was natural for India and Ghana as countries of the Global South to pool their experience and see how they could support each other.
两国还签署了《印度动物调查所与加纳大学学术、科研及能力建设合作谅解备忘录》。此外，在新德里印度农业研究理事会与加纳CSIR农作物研究所的共同努力下，双方又在两位部长的见证下签署了《农业研究与教育合作谅解备忘录》。
The two countries exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding between the Zoological Survey of India and the University of Ghana for cooperation in academics, scientific research and capacity building. Another MoU was exchanged between the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, and CSIR-Crops Research Institute, Ghana, for cooperation in Agricultural Research and Education, in the presence of the two ministers.
贾伊尚卡尔还表示，看到印度商界在加纳蓬勃发展令他倍感欣慰。“印度在加纳有着历史悠久且极具活力的侨民群体，我认为其中的商业人士切实充当了连接两国的纽带。”他说道。
Jaishankar also said he was pleased to see the Indian business community thriving in Ghana. "We have a longstanding, very vibrant Indian community. And the business part of that community, I think, has really been a living bridge between us," he said.
因此，我们今天确实相信，我们的合作将有助于增强韧性、促进包容性，并确保在这样一个动荡而复杂的世界中，增长真正惠及我们的人民，”他补充道。在区域和多边层面，贾尚卡尔表示，印度重视加纳在非洲联盟框架下的历史作用——加纳将于明年担任轮值主席国——以及在西非国家经济共同体（ECOWAS）中的贡献。他说，印度与这两个组织都保持着深厚且长期的合作关系，而加纳所发挥的作用在印度广受认可。
"So we really do believe today that our partnership would help in strengthening resilience, in promoting inclusion, in ensuring that growth really delivers for our people in what is otherwise a very turbulent and complicated world," he added. On the regional and multilateral front, Jaishankar said India values Ghana's historical role in the African Union context, where it will assume the chairship next year, and in ECOWAS. He said India has deep and longstanding partnerships with both organisations and that Ghana's role is widely appreciated in India.
加纳是ECOWAS的创始成员国，该区域集团由15个国家组成，致力于西非地区在经济、社会和政治方面的整合。他还指出，作为英联邦成员国，印度和加纳在多个议题上都同样致力于推进合作。“我们当然赞赏加纳对修复性正义和归还文化遗产的承诺，也赞赏加纳在联合国大会提出的重要决议，以及在此后举行的后续会议，我们同样参与其中，”他说。
Ghana is a founding member of ECOWAS, a 15-member regional bloc dedicated to economic, social and political integration across West Africa. He also said both India and Ghana, as Commonwealth members, are equally committed to several issues. "We certainly applaud Ghana's commitment to reparatory justice and to the restitution of cultural properties, and the very important resolution moved in the UN General Assembly by Ghana, with a follow-up meeting that took place here, in which we also participated," he said.
贾尚卡尔表示，加纳在联合国一直是实现可持续发展目标的重要倡导者。然而，由于多场冲突、新冠疫情及其他挑战，这一目标在本十年中进展缓慢。他还提到加纳参与了由印度主导的国际倡议，包括加纳作为创始成员国的国际太阳能联盟，以及“灾害韧性基础设施联盟”。在总结此次访问的更广泛意义时，贾尚卡尔表示，印度和加纳将彼此视为长期合作伙伴，双方共同的优先事项、日益增长的合作以及一致的全球视野，将有助于进一步深化双边关系。
Jaishankar said Ghana has been a strong voice at the UN for meeting the sustainable development goals, which have fallen behind this decade because of multiple conflicts, COVID and other challenges. He also noted Ghana's participation in international initiatives led by India, including the International Solar Alliance, of which Ghana is a founding member, and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. Summing up the broader message of the visit, Jaishankar said India and Ghana see each other as longstanding partners whose shared priorities, growing cooperation and common global outlook can help deepen ties further.
“我认为世界正朝着多极化和自然多元化的方向演进。对于像我们这样在历史上经历过艰难时刻的国家而言，有责任挺身而出，成为独立与自主的声音，”他说。
"I think the world is moving towards multipolarity, towards its natural diversity. And it's incumbent on countries like us, who have been through difficult experiences in our history, to stand up as voices of independence," he said.
