The Minister expressed Ghana's commitment to fostering impactful diplomacy with international partners across all regions while striving for development and transformation. In a separate announcement, Ablakwa revealed that Ghana has officially become a member of the International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA). During Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar's visit to Ghana, he presented the signed agreement and instrument of acceptance. The IBCA, established in 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other global partners, aims to safeguard and preserve big cat species such as lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, pumas, and cheetahs.
