Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, Minister for the Interior, has called for stronger collaboration between Ghana and the European Union to confront the growing threat of organised crime.
Speaking at the second session of the 2026 Ghana-European Union Partnership Dialogue on Peace and Security in Accra, Hon. Muntaka said the modus operandi of organised crime has become increasingly sophisticated and global.
“Transnational organised crime is a concern for Ghana. When left unchecked, it affects us all. There is the need for us to work together, share intelligence, and strengthen the capacity of our security officers to detect, deter, and disrupt the operations of organised crime, because it knows no borders,’ he stated.
The Minister assured that government is taking every step to address internal conflicts before they degenerate into violence. He disclosed that the National Peace Council is working to initiate a peacebuilding process in Bawku to secure lasting peace in the area.
Hon. Muntaka also reaffirmed Ghana’s good relations with neighbouring countries and pledged to continue collaborating to ensure peace and stability in the sub-region.
He commended the European Union for its continuous support and urged both parties to deepen cooperation for the mutual benefit of Ghana and the EU.
The Dialogue, which aims to take stock of the Ghana-EU relationship and chart the way forward, brought together members of the diplomatic corps, security services, and other key stakeholders.
