Ghana and South Africa have signed Memoranda of Understanding as part of President Jacob Zuma's three-day state visit to Ghana.
The Ghana government reports that the agreements included cooperation on Air Service and Transport which was signed by Mrs Dzifa Attivor, Minister for Transport and Mrs Dipuo Peters, South African Minister of Transport.
The agreement on Electricity and Energy was signed by Mr Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah and Mr Ben Martins, Ministers for Energy for Ghana and South Africa respectively.
In a media briefing, President Mahama said he and his South African counterpart had held meetings that bordered on peace and security on the entire African continent and commended President Zuma for his role in ensuring peace and security in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, as well as Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.
President Mahama said South Africa had the biggest economy in Africa, and that there was the need to cooperate with it to share knowledge and experiences. He said Ghana had a comparative advantage in the production of energy for both domestic consumption and export and would therefore continue to partner others to achieve their energy goals.
President Mahama said Ghana was expected to meet its energy production target of 5,000 megawatts and would therefore step up its export to neighbouring countries such as Togo, Benin, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
