At Christiansborg War Cemetery, Accra
At 11 am today, we paused in solemn remembrance of those who gave their lives in service and sacrifice, securing the freedoms we enjoy today.
Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
We will remember them.

We were honoured to welcome the British High Commissioner to the Essikado-Ketan Constituency for a memorable engagement at Dr. Grace Mall yesterday.
We connected, exchanged ideas, and explored opportunities to strengthen our partnership in education and health, while deepening the bonds of friendship and collaboration.
Thank you for honouring us with your presence. We look forward to building on this meaningful partnership for the benefit of our communities.

This afternoon, I joined HE @JDMahama in launching the construction of a dry-dock and ship-repair facility at Takoradi port
It’s a flagship project of the 🇬🇧-🇬🇭 Growth Partnership. Ambition becomes reality — creating 430 jobs, building skills + supporting Ghana’s maritime future
A day of listening and learning in Western Region. Thank you to HRM Nana Kobina Nketsia V, Regional Minister Hon. Joseph Nelson, Hon. Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah MP and Hon. Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah MP for the warm welcome and for sharing your views on the region's priorities.

From the Gold Coast to the Caribbean, This is our Heritage 🤗
What a beautiful moment to see Queen Camilla 🇬🇧 discovering Wari, the beloved game we know in Ghana as Oware.
Two players, a board and seeds carry a remarkable story of strategy, community and ancestral memory.
Through the brutality of the transatlantic slave trade, our ancestors, forcibly taken from West Africa, carried knowledge and traditions that endured across generations. Oware became one of those precious connections to home.
Today, its continued presence in the Caribbean reminds us how deeply Africa’s heritage lives within the diaspora. Every move honours a cultural legacy that crossed an ocean and survived.
As a Ghanaian Tourism and Cultural advocate , this fills me with pride.
Let us preserve our traditional games, teach them to our children and celebrate them as part of our shared heritage.
An ocean separates us but Our roots connect us. 🇬🇭

My first bilateral meeting at the ongoing Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2026) in Antigua and Barbuda was with the highly esteemed Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, His Excellency Ed Miliband.
I conveyed the heartfelt commendations of President John Mahama, the Government and good people of Ghana for the UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s historic announcement last week that the UK was now open to a formal apology and a structured good faith dialogue on reparatory justice having regard for the UK’s dark legacy in the transatlantic enslavement of Africans.
It has been greatly inspiring witnessing the monumental impact of the Ghana-led landmark UN resolution declaring the transatlantic enslavement as the gravest crime against humanity.
Ghana, together with our partners in the AU, CARICOM and our global coalition stand ready to work with the UK on this consequential journey towards true healing, genuine reconciliation, restitution, repair and the creation of a new world without racism and discrimination.
As President Mahama has acknowledged, the Government of Ghana congratulates the UK for this bold decision.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband have demonstrated admirable courage and moral leadership. It is rather the weak and cowards who fear to say sorry. Posterity shall remember them kindly.
We shall continue to warmly welcome all our European friends who abstained during the defining UN vote.
This is indeed a proud moment for Ghana’s foreign policy.
Reparatory Justice is the real winner!
We shall keep our focus and keep delivering results for our people and our ancestors.
For God and Country 🇬🇭 🙏🏾

H.E. John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, in his capacity as the African Union Champion on Reparations and Chair of the Global Advisory Panel on Reparatory Justice, has welcomed the United Kingdom’s acknowledgement of its historical legacy of slavery and

I commend Prime Minister Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband for their moral leadership in recognising that confronting historical truth is not a sign of weakness, but an act of statesmanship and justice.
The transatlantic slave trade was one of the darkest chapters in world - and UK - history. As Prime Minister Andy Burnham says here, ‘we need to face up to the past’. A new dialogue set up by Commonwealth leaders could lead the way in doing so.

The Commonwealth is vital to promoting Britain's values and interests in an increasingly unstable world.
Having the bravery to have honest conversations about our history is the right thing to do and vital for making it an alliance for the future.

As Ghana prepares to chair the African Union and the UK looks ahead to its G20 presidency, we will work together at CHOGM and beyond on the big issues, from climate resilience to the Accra Reset's vision of fair finance.
Valuable discussions this week with FM @S_OkudzetoAblak
A pleasure to start working with Hon Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings as Minister of Environment, Science and Technology.
From climate commitments to tackling plastics pollution, from science partnerships to media training: great to see so many shared priorities and ambitions.
Congratulations to Ghana on being reelected to UN Human Rights Council!
I applaud Ghana’s long-standing efforts to show leadership in multilateral institutions and protect human rights. I look forward to work with @GhanaMFA, @S_OkudzetoAblak on both priorities

A very positive meeting indeed - and great to take stock:
Ghana hosted two successful events at UNGA in New York recently; UK ministers spoke at both
Looking forward to your and HE President Mahama's upcoming UK visit and the bilateral secruity dialogue next month
I held a really positive meeting with the British High Commissioner to Ghana, His Excellency Christian Rogg yesterday.
We conducted a comprehensive review of our excellent bilateral relations.
We noted the impressive increase in UK investments in Ghana with emphasis on the Takoradi port expansion project which is expected to commence this year.
I commended the UK for participating in our reparatory justice side event and the Accra Reset convening both in the margins of the 81st session of the UNGA in New York.
Our engagement also afforded us the opportunity to prepare for President John Mahama’s upcoming official visit to the UK. We also assessed arrangements and priority issues for Ghana’s participation in next month’s Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
We highlighted the satisfactory progress in our security partnership and committed to enhanced collaboration to combat organized crime and violent extremism in the region.
Ghana and Britain deeply value our longstanding and historical bond of friendship and shared values.
Great to catch up with @stonebwoy on upcoming projects and his recent BHIM festival success in London - 12,500 people at the OVO arena!
I really admire the commitment to education and youth development. And the clever blend of Jamaican Patois, English, Ewe, Ga and Twi lyrics.
The threats and security challenges faced by West African countries are becoming increasingly complex. Glad to open a course that brings together defence and security leaders from the region to learn and share experiences. Great partnership with UK Defence Academy and @KaiptcGh.
“We gather to remember”. I just went to see The Darkest Chapter - a play by Latif Abubakar, tracing history from the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade to modern day Ghana.
Very moved by the performance and narration. If you missed it this week, it’s on again in December.
