The Government of Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to reinvigorating the Pan-African vision in partnership with the Republic of Guinea, drawing inspiration from the historic alliance between Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and Guinea’s founding leader, Ahmed Sékou Touré.
Acknowledging past challenges and historical complexities, the government emphasised the need for deliberate efforts to bridge existing gaps and deepen cooperation between the two countries for their mutual benefit and the advancement of Africa as a whole.
Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang made the call during an engagement with members of the Ghanaian community in Guinea, following her attendance at the swearing-in ceremony of Guinea’s President, Mamadi Doumbouya, on January 17.
In her address, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged both nations to recommit to the ideals of African unity, solidarity, and self-determination championed by Dr. Nkrumah and President Sékou Touré.
She noted that strengthening bilateral relations would not only honour the legacy of the two Pan-African leaders but also contribute significantly to regional integration and Africa’s broader development agenda.
The Secretary of the Ghanaian Community in Guinea, Osman Seidu Fisher, commended the Mahama-led administration for its efforts to stabilise the cedi against the US dollar, noting that the move has helped improve the living standards of Ghanaians living abroad.
Assessing the government’s one-year performance, Mr. Fisher praised the Vice President’s leadership, highlighting her role in advancing economic stability and strengthening Ghana’s international engagements.
