The announcement was made by the Foreign Affairs Minister during the media launch of the Ghana Diaspora Summit. According to him, it is the obligation of these honourees to champion Ghana’s image and lead the campaign to attract both Ghanaians in the diaspora and foreigners to visit the country during the summit in December.
This initiative forms part of Ghana’s broader agenda to bridge the gap between the nation and the global community, strengthening cultural, economic, and social ties.
