Minister troubled over exit of La Francophonie members

Speaking at a flag-raising ceremony to mark the 55th anniversary of La Francophonie in Accra, he said that Ghana hoped to join a united organisation that met members’ aspirations, not one burdened by suspicions and departures.

“I would be remiss if I did not comment on the rather disturbing developments within our organisation. It should have been a moment of much greater joy that Ghana attains full membership and join a more united, formidable, and rising La Francophonie that meets the hopes and aspirations of its members.

“Unfortunately, we attain full membership at a time when some are leaving and at a time of deep and troubling suspicion among member countries,” he added.

Ablakwa told the gathering that Ghana’s full membership sought to bridge cultural divides, foster cultural and educational collaboration, boost diplomatic cooperation, and attract economic investments.

He noted that the milestone aligned with President John Dramani Mahama’s vision to promote good neighbourliness, regional integration, and international relations that drive national development.

The minister expressed hope that Ghana’s membership would symbolise reconciliation and peacebuilding, adding that Ghana, known as a peacemaker, could help address these challenges.
