India has historical and traditional relations with Ghana, based on common ideals and principles arising from a significant legacy of social, cultural and political struggles, along with a shared commitment to democracy.
Defence cooperation with Ghana, as a part of defence diplomacy, has been an important tool towards enhancing this friendship.
The defence cooperation with Ghana has existed since 1957 and Indian armed forces have played an important role in laying the foundation of all the three services of the Ghana armed forces.
The armed forces of the two nations have been comprehensively cooperating in the field of military training, United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, training and participation of observers in exercises.
Adinkrah will be meeting senior Defence Ministry and military officials.
He will also visit United Service Institution (USI) and the Centre for UN Peacekeeping (CUNPK), New Delhi. (ANI)
