Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama is defending his country’s non-alignment policy and calling on foreign investors to invest in Ghana. He says the aim is to ensure fair returns for investors and the country, according to his remarks at the Financial Times Africa Summit.

Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama defended Ghana’s non-alignment policy as a means of attracting investors from all regions of the world at the Financial Times Africa Summit 2026, according to 3News.

“We are friends of all and enemies of none,” Mahama said, adding that the country was open to capital from the United States, the European Union, China and Russia, among others. He said the investors’ origin mattered less than whether projects could provide a fair return for both investors and Ghana.

The president presented investment as a partnership based on shared interests rather than competition between countries. He invited international investors to consider Ghana as a destination for their capital.
