The government has affirmed its readiness to reinvigorate the Pan-African vision with the Republic of Guinea, building on the historic bond between Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and Guinea’s first President, Ahmed Sékou Touré.
Despite past challenges and historical complexities, the government said, the two countries must work deliberately to bridge existing gaps and strengthen cooperation for their mutual benefit and to advance Africa as a whole.
The Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, made the call during an engagement with the Ghanaian community in Guinea, after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Guinea’s President, Mamadi Doumbouya, on January 17.
In her address, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged both countries to recommit themselves to the ideals of African unity and solidarity championed by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Ahmed Sékou Touré.
According to her, strengthening ties between the two countries would not only honour the legacy of the Pan-African leaders but also contribute to regional integration and Africa’s broader development.
The Secretary of the Ghanaian Community in Guinea, Osman Seidu Fisher, also commended the Mahama-led administration for its efforts to stabilize the cedi against the dollar, saying the move has helped improve living standards.
Assessing the administration’s one-year performance, he praised the Vice President’s leadership and her role in the process.
