Akufo-Addo's participation in the Global Peace Summit underscores Ghana's commitment to international peace and collaboration.
The discussions between the two presidents signal a strengthening of ties and a mutual dedication to fostering peace and economic cooperation.
In January, Ghana was invited to join the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula meant to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Zelenskyy met with Akufo-Addo in Switzerland on the sidelines of the 2024 World Economic Forum and said Ghana's involvement in the 10-point peace plan would be vital.
The plan spans food and energy security, territorial integrity, environmental safety, release of prisoners and withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
The International Monetary Fund has noted that war has raised global prices of oil, natural gas, and wheat, among other commodities.
During the meeting, the two presidents discussed ways to deepen relations between Ukraine, Ghana and other African countries.
Ghana and Ukraine plan to create a logistics hub for food storage
Ukraine has been working with Ghana to construct a logistics hub for food storage.
The hub would boost food security by allowing the storage of quality grain, promoting the predictability of sales and stabilising food prices.
Ukraine's food minister, Mykola Solskyi, made proposals similar to those of other West African countries, Nigeria and Senegal, as his country deepened its agriculture and trade ties.
