Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration

Ghana has officially launched the Diaspora Summit 2025, an initiative aimed at deepening partnerships between the country and its global diaspora while harnessing their resources, expertise, and networks to accelerate national development.

The launch, held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, was graced by members of the diplomatic corps, government officials, distinguished guests, and key diaspora stakeholders.

Speaking at the event, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, underscored the government’s commitment to positioning the diaspora as an integral part of Ghana’s growth agenda.

“Today’s launch of the Diaspora Summit marks the reaffirmation of our nation’s enduring commitment to building bridges of opportunity, partnership, and shared destiny between Ghana and her cherished diaspora community across the globe,” he said.

The Minister emphasised that the Summit would provide a platform to turn dialogue into tangible impact, particularly in areas such as investment, innovation, education, healthcare, and cultural exchange.

“Our brothers and sisters abroad continue to play a vital role in shaping the image of our nation, investing in our economy, and contributing to the transfer of knowledge, skills, and networks,” he stated.

Highlighting President John Dramani Mahama’s “Reset Agenda,” Mr Ablakwa assured the diaspora community that Ghana is creating a conducive environment for sustainable investment and private sector growth.

“Ghana, your home, is ready for business. Your investments are not safe merely because it is your home, but because your government is building a congenial environment for you and our people to thrive and to help with nation-building,” he affirmed.

The Diaspora as Ghana’s 17th Region

The Minister reiterated the critical role of Ghanaians living abroad in the country’s socio-economic transformation, describing the diaspora as the “17th Region” of Ghana.

“The diaspora is not apart from Ghana; they are a part of Ghana. Your stories, talents, and sacrifices enrich the national fabric, and this Summit is a celebration of your invaluable place in our development agenda,” he noted.

Aligning with Africa’s Decade of Reparations

Mr. Ablakwa also linked the Summit to a broader continental vision, noting that the period between 2026 and 2036 has been declared as Africa’s Decade of Reparations.

He explained that under President Mahama’s leadership as the African Union Champion for Reparations, Ghana is spearheading efforts to promote justice and empowerment for Africa and its descendants.

“Reparations for Africa does not only mean justice for colonial and neo-colonial suppression. It is also a call for Africa and its descendants to build their own. We can only build when we connect our energies and collaborate to achieve economic liberation,” he said.

Summit Website and Call for Nominations

The Minister announced the launch of a dedicated website, diasporasummitghana.org

At the event, the Minister announced the granting of diplomatic passports to five high-profile Ghanaians: namely, travel vlogger Wode Maya, Grammy-nominated reggae artist Rocky Dawuni, broadcaster Anita Erskine, visual artist Ibrahim Mahama, and entrepreneur Dentaa Amoateng MBE, in a move meant to strengthen Ghana’s cultural and people-to-people diplomacy.
