President John Dramani Mahama officially received the letters of credence from seven non-resident High Commissioners and Ambassadors-designate at the Jubilee House on Monday, solidifying diplomatic ties and opening new avenues for economic cooperation.
The accredited diplomats represent a diverse group of nations, including High Commissioner Ronald Micallef of Malta, Ambassador Andrei Ordash of the Russian Federation, Ambassador Michal Cygan of Poland, Ambassador Bambang Suharto of Indonesia, Ambassador Isbeth Lisbeth Quiel Murcia of Panama, Ambassador Armen Sargsyan of Armenia, and High Commissioner Selestine Gervas Kakele of Tanzania.
The formal presentation officially grants these envoys the legal authority to represent their respective governments in Ghana.
During the ceremony, President Mahama emphasized Ghana’s strategic focus on expanding partnerships in trade, investment, agriculture, and technology.
He specifically urged the diplomats to leverage Ghana’s position as a gateway to the African continent, highlighting the country’s flagship 24-Hour Economy initiative and its active role within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as prime vehicles for shared economic growth.
The President noted that while the nations vary in geography and culture, they remain united by mutual aspirations for peace and development. He also stressed the critical need for global collaboration to combat pressing challenges such as climate change, food insecurity, and economic instability.
The newly accredited envoys expressed gratitude for the warm reception and pledged to work closely with the Ghanaian government to strengthen bilateral relations and drive mutual prosperity during their tenures.
