President Akufo-Addo reminded the ambassadors designate of their three-fold responsibilities — diplomatic, ceremonial and administrative — and urged them to bear in mind the onerous responsibility to preserve and promote the image of Ghana.
“You represent a country which, as a result of the commendable conduct of the people, is regarded as one of the most stable on the continent, a beacon of democracy governed by the rule of law and respect for individual liberties and human rights and the principles of democratic accountability,” he said.
The President said the two envoys were going to countries which were experiencing terrorist activities and violent extremism and instability and urged them, as representatives of a state that was in good standing, both in the ECOWAS and the African Union, to show support when it was needed.
