Ghana–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Ghana and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Formal diplomatic relations at the level of Embassy were established in 1959.[1][2] Both countries were the founding member states of the Non-Aligned Movement at the 1961 Non-Aligned Conference in Belgrade. President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito paid his first State visit to Ghana in 1961, just one year after the full independence of the Dominion of Ghana.[3]
History
Informal contacts were initiated as early as 1956 when an unsuccessful proposal came from the Ghanaian Erick Nkrumah towards the Yugoslav Delegation at the United Nations to visit Yugoslavia
During the 1961 President Tito diplomatic tour President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah gave the Yugoslav president men's slippers which symbolize willingness to a long journey, with a message related to good long-term results of Tito's visit.
While the post-coup National Liberation Council in 1966 expelled Chinese and Soviet experts from the country, it didn't take any measure against Yugoslav experts which remained in Ghana.[1] Folklore musical ensemble Tanec from Skopje, Socialist Republic of Macedonia visited Ghana in 1968.[5]
