Ambassador gives update on Ghanaians in Norway after ‘paralympic’ visa spat

Norway’s Ambassador to Ghana, Ingrid Mollestad, assured that relations between Ghana and Norway remain "excellent" despite concerns raised by Ghana's Sports Minister, Mustapha Yusif, over an incident involving Ghanaian para-athletes in Norway.

Nine out of an 11-member team went missing after arriving in Oslo for the Bergen Marathon, prompting Norway to trigger alerts across Schengen countries.

One athlete is detained, and their coach passed away in Oslo. Mollestad emphasized that Ghanaians in Norway are safe and downplayed any potential strain on diplomatic relations.

Nordic Foreign Ministers are visiting Ghana to discuss global security and cooperation.
