Work with Angola to sustain international attention on reparatory justice – Mahama charges new Envoy
President John Dramani Mahama has charged Ghana’s newly appointed Ambassador to Angola, Nana Antwiwaa Dodoo, to work closely with Angola to sustain international attention on the issue of reparatory justice.
Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has instructed his newly appointed Ambassador to Angola, Nana Antwiwaa Dodoo, to collaborate with Angola to maintain public focus on reparatory justice. Mahama emphasized that the United Nations General Assembly recognizing the enslavement of Africans and racialized chattel enslavement as a grave crime against humanity necessitates action to address the consequences and seek justice.
Upon formally appointing Dodoo and three other envoys at the Presidency in Accra, Mahama highlighted the strong historical ties between Ghana and Angola. He encouraged the Ambassador to strengthen bilateral cooperation, focusing on trade, investment, and private sector partnerships.
Mahama also tasked Dodoo with organizing the Seventh Session of the Ghana-Angola Joint Commission for Cooperation in 2027. The meeting should emphasize practical collaboration opportunities and ensure commitments receive ongoing follow-up and implementation. As Ghana prepares to chair the African Union in 2027, Mahama stressed the importance of deepening diplomatic engagement to promote Africa's development agenda and bolster cooperation on shared priorities.
