Earlier today, I had the distinct honour of joining the High Commissioner of the Togolese Republic, H.E. Awoki Panassa and his spouse, at a reception celebrating the 65th Anniversary of Togo’s independence at the High Commission in Cantonments, Accra.
It was a privilege to stand alongside colleagues, friends, and dignitaries, in affirming the bonds of brotherhood between Ghana and Togo. As neighbours with intertwined histories and futures, it was a strong reminder that building economic, political, social, and cultural ties remains essential, especially for those of us sharing direct boundaries with Togo.
Later this evening, I attended another important diplomatic gathering at the Embassy of Greece, on conversations on Tourism, Investment and collaboration .
In attendance was Sir Sam Jonah. I also had a tete-a-tete with Hon. Harry Theoharis who was the former Minister of Tourism, former Deputy Minister of Finance, and currently a Member of the Hellenic (Greek) Parliament.
Mr. Theoharis, who is contesting for the position of Secretary-General of UN Tourism, shared with me his vision for global tourism and development.
We discussed the growing Greece-Ghana partnership, particularly in tourism, trade, and cultural exchange. I also highlighted tourism opportunities in the Volta Region that could drive mutual economic benefits.
I sincerely thank Mr. Theoharis for his openness and dedication to global tourism. I humbly encourage all delegates to support his candidacy.
I look forward to building on these relationships for greater cooperation and shared progress.
