The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has called for the full implementation of visa regimes that make Africa a “common home for all Africans,” as part of a renewed push toward pan-African unity and cooperation. Speaking at the orientation of Ghana’s newly appointed envoys in Accra on Monday, September 1, 2025, the Ga Mantse stressed the importance of reciprocal arrangements in immigration policies.
He proposed key measures to enhance African unity and cooperation, including reciprocal visa agreements that standardize immigration requirements, timelines, and fees across the continent. Additionally, he advocated for a more efficient system for paying school fees for government-sponsored students abroad, addressing the financial difficulties many currently face.
The Ga Mantse also encouraged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prioritize cultural diplomacy, involving traditional leaders in showcasing Ghana’s heritage globally. This approach, he noted, could boost tourism and strengthen bilateral relations, serving as a powerful tool for fostering international cooperation and understanding. By promoting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, the country can attract more tourists and build stronger ties with other nations.
