Togo, Ghana Resume Talks To Finalise Land Border Demarcation

Togo and Ghana have resumed discussions on the demarcation of their land borders, with a two-day meeting that began Tuesday in Lomé, the capital of Togo.

According to Togo First, the talks aim to finalise the boundary line between Borne 1 and the sea.

During the meeting, participants reviewed past sessions of the technical commission and monitoring committee to help the national coordinators agree on the next steps for marking the boundary.

The chairman of Ghana’s border delimitation commission, General Emmanuel Kotia, said both parties’ expectations for the meeting were very high.

We have already worked on more than 350 km, and we wish to find common ground to enable our technical teams to resume work. I am convinced that thanks to our goodwill and shared commitment, we will overcome any misunderstandings in the general interest of our two countries, Kotia said

The border demarcation process between Togo and Ghana, which began a few years ago, aims to enhance territorial security, prevent disputes and settle any lingering conflicts between the two West African countries. The two countries have made progress in delineating their maritime borders, reaching an agreement in 2022.
