Ghana firmly supports Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity – Ampratum-Sarpong

He expressed that Ghana has been steadfast in its condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, perceiving it as a violation of international standards and the core principles of the UN Charter.

During the inauguration of the Ukraine Embassy in Accra on Friday, April 12, Mr Ampratum-Sarpong declared, “The Russia-Ukraine crisis has had far-reaching consequences, impacting global markets and exacerbating existing challenges, including food and energy insecurity.”

He expressed optimism that the establishment of the Ukraine Embassy would strengthen the diplomatic, economic, trade, and investment relations between Ghana and Ukraine, benefiting both nations.

In the meantime, I hereby assure the Charge d’Affaires ad Interim of Ukraine, that the Foreign Ministry stands ready to extend to him the assistance he needs in the execution of his duties.

“I hope, in that regard, that he will ensure that the Embassy liaises directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to facilitate his work.”

“I also assure our Ukrainian counterparts here that in due course, Ghana would in reciprocity, take the necessary steps to establish a physical presence in Kyiv, to further boost the levels of cooperation between our two countries,” he added.

“One that will build upon Ghana’s stable economic and political foundation and create jobs for citizens of both our countries,” he added.
