"We are committed to charting a bold new course, leveraging our strategic advantage in the tropics to achieve food sovereignty and ensure that Ghanaians feel the benefits of national growth."



The Vice President lauded the outstanding reputation of the Ghanaian community in Angola, citing the Ambassador's reports of zero incidents of wrongdoing, a testament to the discipline, integrity and commitment of Ghanaian nationals.



"We are building a government that works with the people, not just for the people," Prof Opoku-Agyemang emphasized.
