Ghana has signed a letter of Intent (LOI) with Indonesia’s PT Pindad as part of the African’s country efforts in exploring the procurement of weapons and equipment for its military. The letter was signed late last month in Jakarta by both sides that if actualized will see the sale and significant defense cooperation between the two entities.
Ghana is apparently interested in procuring items including firearms, tactical military vehicles and amphibious vehicles as well as engineering vehicles such as excavators. On the other hand, Pindad is ready and able to supports Ghana’s defense needs including the supply of equipment, establishing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and after-sales services including training and facilities.
The signing of the LOI is the first step in strategic good relations for both parties. Both commitments are in line with the spirit of the Indonesian government to establish military cooperation with the Government of Ghana
