Africa needs bold leadership to confront changing global order – Ambassador D.K. Osei

Using the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as an example, he noted that although "the regional bloc has acknowledged the instability in the global order, some of its decisions have failed to demonstrate the bold leadership required to navigate current political and security challenges.

Referring to Ghana's former President and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Ambassador Osei said Africa had previously benefited from presenting a united front, allowing Annan to serve two successful terms."Addressing participants at the 21st Kronti ne Akwamu Public Lecture on the theme, "The Changing Global and Multilateral Rule-Based Order," Ambassador Osei said the world is undergoing profound geopolitical shifts that demand a stronger and more coordinated African response.
