Ghana and Australia strengthen ties to push for Africa’s permanent UN Security Council seat
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says Ghana is forging closer ties with international allies to advance Africa’s call for reforms at the United Nations, particularly its demand for permanent representation on the UN Security Council.
Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced that the nation is strengthening ties with international allies to push for Africa's permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. The comments came after bilateral talks with Australia's Assistant Secretary for Multilateral Peace, Security and Candidacies, James Buttigieg, during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in Antigua and Barbuda.
The discussions aimed to align the two countries' priorities, with Australia pursuing Security Council membership and Ghana set to chair the African Union next year.
Ablakwa emphasized the importance of advancing Africa's case for UN reforms, ensuring the continent's permanent representation on the Security Council. Ghana also discussed reconfiguring international financial architecture, regulating artificial intelligence, promoting climate justice, securing resources, advocating for reparatory justice, and resolving conflicts. These dialogues form part of Ghana's efforts to garner international support for global governance reforms and address issues crucial to Africa.
The minister expressed confidence in the longstanding friendship and solidarity between Ghana and Australia as they continue to work towards advancing the economies of both countries.
