Professor Kwesi Aning, Head of the Office for International Cooperation at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), has commended President John Dramani Mahama for reinforcing his stature as a Pan-African statesman through his recent diplomatic engagements with Sahel States.
He praised Mahama for astutely leveraging Ghana's historical ties with Burkina Faso to enhance diplomatic relations.
In an interview on Channel One TV's The Point of View on Monday May 19, Prof Aning highlighted Mahama's strategic approach, noting that the President has been "extremely smart and savvy in tapping into Ghana's history with Burkina Faso." He emphasized that Mahama's foreign policy team effectively utilises historical narratives and emotional intelligence to foster goodwill and demonstrate solidarity with neighboring nations.
Aning further pointed out that Mahama's diplomatic efforts serve as a contrast to previous administrations, particularly referencing former President Nana Akufo-Addo's approach.
