Accra, Nov. 20, GNA \u2013 Accra, Nov. 20, GNA \u2013 President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday swore in five new ambassadors at the Jubilee House in Accra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The new envoys, all seasoned diplomats, include Mrs. Matilda Aku Alomatu Osei-Agyeman (Ambassador to Austria), Ms. Vivian Kafui Akua Asempapa (Ambassador to Senegal), Mrs. Regina Appiah-Sam (Ambassador to Spain), Mr. McArios Akanbeanab Akanbong (Ambassador to Iran), and Dr. Senalor Kwabla Yawlui (Ambassador to Sierra Leone).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0In his remarks, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that their appointments were critical to Ghana\u2019s diplomatic efforts, especially during challenging global circumstances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0He noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war had underscored the need for international cooperation and diplomatic engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cYour postings have come at a critical juncture in global affairs and Ghana\u2019s development journey,\u201d the President stated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The President called on the envoys to promote Ghana\u2019s economic revitalization programme, the Ghana CARES \u2018Obaatanpa\u2019 initiative, which focuses on sectors like agriculture, ICT, and job creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He urged them to attract foreign investments aligned with these objectives and to contribute to the nation\u2019s sustainable growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Ghana\u2019s recent diplomatic achievements, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the country\u2019s full membership in La Francophonie and the election of Foreign Minister Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey as the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
These milestones, he said, reinforced Ghana\u2019s role as a diplomatic bridge between Anglophone and Francophone nations in Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The President also reminded the ambassadors of their dual responsibilities: to represent Ghana\u2019s interests abroad and to engage with the diaspora in contributing to national development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He urged them to work closely with Foreign Service officers, whom he described as \u201cthe backbone of Ghana\u2019s diplomatic missions,\u201d and stressed the importance of diplomacy as a tool for building bridges and fostering international partnerships.\u00a0<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections in December, underscoring the importance of maintaining Ghana\u2019s democratic credentials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He urged the envoys to uphold the values of peace, integrity, and democratic governance in their missions abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are the face of Ghana to the world. Carry out your duties with professionalism and integrity, and let your efforts bring honor to our nation,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ambassador Vivian Asempapa, speaking on behalf of her colleagues, expressed gratitude to President Akufo-Addo for the appointments and the trust placed in them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She assured the President that they would work diligently to enhance Ghana\u2019s active role in international affairs and advocate for the country\u2019s interests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. President, we accept your charge, which we pledge to fulfill with dignity, integrity, and diligence,\u201d she stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuided by the vision of our forebears, we commit to upholding and defending the principles of democracy, unity, and progress that have always defined our nation,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
