Ghana’s Foreign Minister-designate, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has turned to Dr. Obed Yao Asamoah, Ghana’s longest-serving Foreign Minister, for guidance ahead of his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 30, 2025.
The North Tongu MP described the visit as an “extraordinary masterclass,” praising Dr. Asamoah’s unmatched experience and insights.
“It has been a genuinely great honor consulting with Dr. Obed Yao Asamoah, who served as Foreign Minister for 16 years during the Rawlings era.
His wisdom and encouragement have been invaluable,” Ablakwa wrote in a Facebook post.
Dr. Asamoah, now 89, also expressed confidence in President Mahama’s foreign policy vision, further bolstering Ablakwa’s optimism for the role.
As Ablakwa prepares to bring his years of parliamentary and diplomatic expertise to the position, stakeholders are watching closely to see how his leadership will shape Ghana’s foreign relations.
