by Business Post

President John Dramani Mahama says Ghana will continue to champion Africa’s economic integration, health sovereignty and global governance reforms as part of its continental responsibilities under the Accra Reset Agenda.

Delivering the State of the Nation Address, the President said Ghana is currently the African Union Champion for Reparations, AU Champion for African Financial Institutions, and Champion for Gender Equality.

He also confirmed that West African leaders have endorsed him as the region’s sole candidate for AU Chairperson in 2027.

At the global level, President Mahama said Ghana is championing a UN resolution to recognise the Transatlantic Slave Trade as “the greatest crime against humanity,” to be tabled at the UN General Assembly in March.

The President highlighted recent international medical and humanitarian deployments, including Ghana’s rescue operation for stranded fishermen and the dispatch of engineers to Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa.

He said Ghana’s foreign policy will continue to align with domestic economic priorities, boost trade under AfCFTA, and deepen cooperation with AES and ECOWAS states to ensure regional stability.
