加纳 John Dramani Mahama 总统强调了加纳大使、高级专员和特使在塑造国家全球影响力方面的关键作用，并指出加纳的国际地位必须通过积极作为来赢得和维护。

"加纳的国际地位不会主动送上门，必须通过我们的抉择与行动去争取和捍卫。" 他在 2025 年 9 月 1 日周一于首都阿克拉举行的使团团长会议暨新任特使培训计划上如是说。

Mahama 总统着重指出，外交工作必须为民众带来切实利益，包括创造就业、拓展本土产品市场、推动技术进步，以及提升国内外加纳人的尊严与福祉。

他阐释道，政府为应对近期经济困境和公众信任危机推出的振兴计划，旨在通过创造可持续就业等举措重燃希望、重建信心并促进繁荣。

总统特别强调，该计划能否成功很大程度上取决于加纳外交使节建立强力合作伙伴关系、吸引投资技术与知识的能力。在论及外交与内政的关联性时，他表示："在当今互联互通的世界里，外交政策与国内政策的界限已日趋模糊。"

Mahama 总统明确将经济外交定位为加纳外交政策的基石，要求驻外机构成为经贸往来的枢纽，重点推动贸易便利化、招商引资和创新促进工作。

他要求新任大使和特使们重点推介加纳优先发展领域的投资机遇，包括工业化、可再生能源、数字服务、农产品加工、基础设施和旅游业。

总统进一步敦促外交团队拓展高附加值产品的出口市场，如加工可可、乳木果油、纺织品、手工艺品和数字服务。他强调，国际协议必须让地方社区直接受益，确保加纳的全球参与能切实转化为国民生活水平的提升。

President Mahama Charges Ghanaian Envoys to Champion Economic Diplomacy

President John Dramani Mahama has underscored the crucial role of Ghana’s ambassadors, High Commissioners, and envoys in shaping the nation’s influence on the global stage, stressing that Ghana’s international standing must be actively earned and defended.

“Ghana's place will not be handed to us. It must be earned and defended through our choices and our work,” he said.

The President made these remarks at the Conference of Heads of Missions and Orientation Programme for newly appointed envoys in Accra on Monday, September 1, 2025.

Mr Mahama emphasised that diplomacy must deliver tangible benefits for citizens, including job creation, expanded markets for local products, technological advancement, and greater dignity and prosperity for Ghanaians both at home and abroad.

He explained that the government’s reset agenda, introduced to address recent economic challenges and declining public trust, aims to restore hope, rebuild confidence, and foster prosperity through initiatives that generate sustainable employment.

The success of this agenda, he noted, depends significantly on the ability of Ghana’s envoys to build strong partnerships and attract investment, technology, and knowledge.

Highlighting the interconnectedness of foreign and domestic policy, he stated, “The distinction between foreign and domestic policy has become increasingly blurred in today’s interconnected world.”

The President stressed that economic diplomacy is now the cornerstone of Ghana’s foreign policy, directing missions abroad to serve as hubs of economic engagement by facilitating trade, attracting investments, and promoting innovation.

Mr Mahama tasked the new ambassadors and envoys to promote investment in Ghana’s priority sectors, industrialisation, renewable energy, digital services, agro-processing, infrastructure, and tourism.

He further urged them to expand export markets, particularly for value-added goods such as processed cocoa, shea butter, textiles, crafts, and digital services.

According to him, agreements reached internationally must directly benefit local communities, ensuring that Ghana’s global engagements translate into improved livelihoods for citizens.
