加纳总统 John Mahama 先生敦促非洲国家重新定位自己，以充分利用全球地缘政治和贸易中不断变化的动态。
Mahama 总统在 4 月 19 日星期五举行的 2025 年夸胡商业论坛（Kwahu Business Forum）上发表讲话时强调，非洲需要从以贸易为主的思维方式转变为更加工业化和创业的方式。
“世界正在发生变化，新的机遇不断涌现，我们作为一个国家必须利用这些机遇。” Mahama 总统说。
他指出，当前经济超级大国之间的贸易紧张局势正在造成 “生产方面的全球转变”，非洲必须利用这一点来摆脱其传统的被动经济角色。“非洲必须摆脱我们只是商人的思维模式。” Mahama 总统说，并呼吁大胆转向制造业、工业化、数字创业和农业企业。Mahama 总统表示，随着世界因政治和经济紧张局势变得更加不可预测，像非洲这样长期被边缘化的地区就有了展示自己的成熟环境。夸胡商业论坛是一系列活动的一部分，这些活动将政策制定者、企业家和投资者聚集在一起，讨论加纳及整个非洲大陆经济发展和私营部门赋权的创新战略。
Africa Must Take up Opportunities in Geopolitical Shifts – Mahama on Trade Wars
President John Mahama has urged African nations to reposition themselves to take full advantage of the shifting dynamics in global geopolitics and trade.
Speaking at the 2025 edition of the Kwahu Business Forum on Friday, April 19, the President stressed the need for Africa to evolve from a predominantly trading mindset to a more industrial and entrepreneurial approach.
He said the continent has consistently missed out on the economic benefits of major global transitions, from the Cold War to the age of globalization, but now has a fresh opportunity to benefit from the ongoing geopolitical reconfigurations, including rising trade wars among major economic powers.
“The world is changing and new opportunities are being thrown up, and we as a country must take advantage of those opportunities,” Mr Mahama said.
He pointed to the current trade tensions between economic superpowers as creating “global shifts in terms of production,” which Africa must leverage to move away from its traditionally passive economic role.
“Africa must shake itself out of the mindset that we are only traders,” the President said, calling for a bold pivot toward manufacturing, industrialization, digital entrepreneurship, and agribusiness.
“We can be anything that we want.”
According to the President, as the world becomes more unpredictable due to political and economic tensions, the environment becomes ripe for long-marginalized regions like Africa to assert themselves.
The Kwahu Business Forum forms part of a series of engagements bringing together policymakers, entrepreneurs, and investors to discuss innovative strategies for economic development and private sector empowerment in Ghana and across the continent.
