President John Dramani Mahama has tasked Ghana’s newly appointed envoys to leverage diplomacy in advancing his government’s reset agenda, aimed at restoring hope, rebuilding trust, and creating sustainable prosperity. Speaking at an orientation program in Accra on September 1, 2025, under the theme “Harnessing the Dividends of Diplomacy for Ghana’s Reset Agenda”, President Mahama emphasized the critical role of foreign relations in achieving national transformation ¹.
