Ghana will use her economic diplomacy to address youth unemployment through regulated migration of Ghanaian artisans and professionals to work abroad.
Based on that, Ghana would sign bilateral agreements with nations to export her artisans and professionals, including medical doctors, nurses, mid-wives, technicians and teachers to work outside and pay a token to the nation.
Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Foreign Affairs Minister-designate, said this when he appeared before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Friday.
Responding to the President's appointment of Lieutenant Colonel (Rtd) Larry Gbevlo-Lartey as an Envoy to the Sahel, the Minister-designate said the appointment was a "strategic national interest" to maintain its diplomatic relations with its neighbours. "Ghana's foreign policy interest is to remain friends of all and enemies of none," he said.
