He described the recognition as a reflection of Ghana’s growing international stature and the Speaker’s unwavering commitment to peace and diplomacy.

The Ambassador praised Ghana’s strong democratic credentials, noting that the country’s political stability, adherence to good governance, and reputation as a model of democracy in Africa make such an appointment both fitting and well-deserved.
