Ghana has an embassy in Ankara and Turkey has an embassy in Accra.

Ghana has in general enjoyed good relations with Turkey since independence, except[1] for a period of strained relations during the later years[2] of the Nkrumah regime.

Bilateral relations were particularly tense in the early 1980s because[3] of Ghana’s relations with Libya.

In exchange for much-needed Libyan aid to Ghana, Rawlings[4] restored diplomatic relations with Libya[3] shortly after coming to power and supported Libya’s position[5] that two Libyans accused of bombing a Pan American Airlines flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988[5] should be tried in a neutral country rather than in Britain or the United States.

Following the visit to Turkey of President John Mahama in early 2013, Turkey pledged a total of US$16.6 million[9] toward Ghana's economic development.
