A very British elevator pitch with @Ed_Miliband to discuss my campaign for the ICJ ahead of the election in November. A pleasure to see friends and colleagues in London this week.

Better than an elevator pitch. Hear why Dapo Akande is our candidate for the International Court of Justice.

Building stronger partnerships for growth.

This week, the UK-Ghana Business Summit brought together government leaders, investors and businesses to explore new opportunities for trade and investment between our two countries.

The Summit also marked the 10th anniversary of the UK Ghana Chamber of Commerce, celebrating a decade of connecting businesses and strengthening commercial ties.

We were pleased to welcome Alastair Long, HM Trade Commissioner for Africa, on his first visit to Ghana, where he engaged with partners and businesses on how we can deepen collaboration under the UK-Ghana Growth Partnership and unlock sustainable economic growth for both countries.

[Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams @HonKofiAdams]

It was a pleasure receiving Mr Alastair Long, the United Kingdom’s Trade Commissioner for Africa, and his delegation for discussions on opportunities to deepen cooperation between Ghana and the UK through sports and recreation.

Our conversation touched on investment, sports infrastructure, technical development and creating stronger opportunities for our young people. I shared our plans to improve Ghana’s sporting infrastructure, particularly the need for modern, well-equipped facilities that can support different sporting and recreational activities and position Ghana to host major international events.

We also discussed opportunities for exchange programmes and technical partnerships that can expose our young athletes and sports professionals to training, knowledge and experience from established systems.

With Ghana preparing to host the 2027 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, our approach is to continue strengthening our capacity, build the right infrastructure and progressively position the country for even bigger international competitions.

There is considerable potential for Ghana and the United Kingdom to work together in developing a stronger sports economy, and I look forward to turning these conversations into practical partnerships.

We're proud to support the launch of the BIST-funded Ghana Photonics and Optics Laboratory (GPOL) at KNUST, giving students and researchers access to cutting-edge technology while strengthening UK-Ghana collaboration in science and innovation.  

Through partnerships like this, the UK is helping to build research capacity, support innovation and create opportunities for long-term economic growth.

This wasn’t a speech about development. It was a speech about solidarity. Thanks to @NEF for the platform to give it.

Through Ambassador for a Day, young women get to step into spaces of leadership, learn from inspiring leaders and see themselves in possibilities they may not have imagined before.

Seeing Patience shadow Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo at the University of Ghana is exactly why initiatives like this matter. 🇬🇧🇬🇭
