Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama on navigating a changing global order

تفصیل

Join us as HE John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, reflects on how Ghana is navigating an increasingly multipolar world while promoting African agency and regional stability. As great-power rivalries intensify and middle powers across the Global South assert greater influence, Ghana is positioning itself as an important strategic actor in a fragmenting international order. Building on its tradition of positive non-alignment, the country is pursuing a deliberate strategy of multi-alignment to advance its national and continental interests. It remains a key regional actor, deepening West African security cooperation, while promoting continental integration as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat. Globally, Ghana is shaping more inclusive multilateralism, including by championing health sovereignty through the Accra Reset Initiative and leading the 2026 UN resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity, affirming its commitment to justice and equity in global governance. At this event, HE John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, will reflect on how Ghana is navigating an increasingly multipolar world and leveraging diversified partnerships to promote African agency, strengthen regional stability and contribute to a more balanced international system. #chathamhouse #ghana
