Canadian Prime Minister commends Mahama for leadership in Ghana and global affairs

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has praised Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama for his leadership in driving reforms and contributing to global efforts to tackle pressing issues. During a meeting at the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda, Carney highlighted Mahama's efforts in reforming Ghana and his role in addressing global challenges.

The two leaders discussed topics of mutual interest, including developments in Ghana and the country's involvement in international governance discussions. Carney also expressed Canada's interest in developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ghana on various aspects, noting Mahama's role in leading a "reset" both domestically and within the system.

In a separate encounter with British Prime Minister, Mahama called for a strengthened partnership between Ghana and the United Kingdom, following Britain's acknowledgment of the Transatlantic Slave Trade atrocities and its willingness to engage in a formal apology and reparatory justice dialogue. Mahama emphasized that the changing global landscape necessitated a stronger relationship between the two nations to tackle the historical legacy of slavery and colonialism.

He stressed the importance of pursuing areas of shared interest to foster mutual cooperation. President Mahama has long been an advocate for international recognition of historical injustices related to the Transatlantic Slave Trade and meaningful discussions on reparatory justice.
