A privilege to visit the historic Brest Hero Fortress today to pay my respects to the brave souls who resisted the 1941 invasion. Their bravery is the foundation of Belarus’s modern industrial strength. The complex is a very impressive symbol of patriotism and courage. May the memory of the heroes of the Brest Fortress continue to inspire love of our motherlands.

At @10DowningStreet this morning for a breakfast meeting with PM Keir Starmer.

I am pleased to announce that today in London, we signed a landmark UK-Ghana Growth Partnership during the Ghana-UK Investment Summit, as a roadmap for 2026–2028. It aims to deliver tangible benefits for Ghanaians and businesses operating in our country. Deals worth up to £215 million stand at the centre of our collaboration with the UK. By prioritising private-sector growth, infrastructure, and skills development for our youth, we aim to ensure they can compete globally. A groundbreaking £101 million UK-backed initiative, part of the partnership, will create the Gulf of Guinea's very first commercial-scale ship repair and dry-docking facility. Set to generate up to 430 direct jobs, including 30% reserved for women, the Takoradi Floating Dock Project will propel Ghana to the forefront of regional maritime hubs. The Partnership is unlocking millions in climate-aligned infrastructure, propelling an £85 million reforestation fund and an exciting £9 million investment dedicated to forest restoration in the Oti Region. These transformative projects will generate local jobs and safeguard our environment. Even more exciting, a £6 million partnership will support the implementation of the Ghana AI Strategy and energise science and technology collaboration across our universities. In the health sector, our systems will be transformed by a £4 million partnership for specialist clinical engineering training. New Transnational Education guidelines will also be launched to open up outstanding opportunities for Ghanaian students to access world-class training. #ResettingGhana

On my way to Sawla to begin a two-day #ResettingGhana Tour of the Savanna Region. I am looking forward, after the project inspections and commencement of work on new projects, to my interaction with the chiefs, young Ghanaians and people of the region in Damongo on Saturday.

At the invitation of Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, I will deliver the keynote address to the World Health Assembly this morning. At the airport, Mrs Nane Annan, the wife of the late UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, joined Dr Tedros to welcome me and took me on a tour of the Kofi Annan Lounge at Geneva Airport, a space dedicated to the memory of the former Ghanaian diplomat.

At the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, I had the privilege of co-chairing an important session on Rethinking global health and building resilient national health systems. My message remained consistent: Africa must move from talk to action. We cannot achieve health sovereignty when the heavy burden of debt stifles our progress. When a nation spends 50 per cent of its revenue on debt servicing, the capacity to invest in health, education, and agriculture is severely diminished. This is why the Accra Reset was born to create a vehicle for a unified African compact that delivers real outcomes for our people. Achieving this requires unity. We must move away from fragmentation and bring everyone, including the state parties, the private sector, and international partners, into the same boat. The Accra Reset is not about isolationism; it is about working more effectively and strategically with our partners to ensure that our health systems are resilient and our people are protected. #AccraReset #AfricaForward #ResettingGhana

Arriving in #Nairobi for the #ForwardAfrica Summit.

Before leaving Accra for Nairobi, I signed into law three transformative bills recently passed by Parliament. The Legal Education Act, the Value for Money Office Act, and the Governance Advisory Council Act strengthen our institutions and protect the interests of every Ghanaian. The Legal Education Act is a game-changer for our justice system. By ending the exclusive authority of the Ghana School of Law over professional legal education, we are introducing healthy competition and opening doors for more institutions to provide high-quality training. This ensures that we maintain the highest standards while creating the space many aspiring lawyers have long waited for. With the Value for Money Office Act, we are institutionalising the review of major government contracts and expenditures. This office will be our frontline defence against inflated contracts, cost overruns, and wasteful spending. Every cedi spent must provide real value to the people of Ghana. I am also proud to have signed the Governance Advisory Council Act. This fulfils a key promise I made to promote good governance and public trust. This independent body will help our efforts to combat corruption. It also ensures that leadership remains accountable to the people. #ResettingGhana

On Wednesday, I held a highly productive meeting with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, in Abu Dhabi. Our discussions centred on a strategic partnership to transform Ghana’s energy landscape. We have agreed to strengthen cooperation in the oil and gas sector, with a specific focus on UAE investment in storage facilities within Ghana. We discussed the need to diversify our energy portfolio, aiming to reduce our dependence on crude oil and achieve long-term energy stability through cleaner, alternative sources. We also addressed global security, and I firmly conveyed Ghana’s solidarity with the UAE regarding the complexities of the Middle East conflict. We are united in our determination to see a swift end to hostilities so the world can focus on sustainable development, innovation, and Artificial Intelligence.

From the Lecture Halls of Legon to the Moon: Celebrating Christina Koch I join the University of Ghana and the entire nation in celebrating NASA Astronaut Christina Koch on her historic membership of the Artemis II mission. It is a point of immense pride to learn that Christina, the only woman on this pioneering lunar mission, was once an exchange student at our very own University of Ghana during the 1999/2000 academic year. Her time at Legon was not just a passing visit; she truly immersed herself in our culture and heritage. By studying the History of Ghana, the History of Africa, Rural Sociology, Music, and even Twi for Beginners, she built a foundation of global citizenship right here in Accra. Her gesture of hoisting the Ghanaian flag in outer space was a deeply touching moment for every Ghanaian. It is a testament to the fact that no matter how far one travels, even into the vastness of space, the friendships made and the lessons learned stay with you. Christina’s journey from the classrooms of the University of Ghana to the frontiers of space exploration serves as a powerful inspiration to every young Ghanaian. It reminds us that our educational institutions continue to produce and shape global leaders who break barriers and reach for the stars. On behalf of a proud nation, I wish Christina Koch and the entire Artemis II crew godspeed on your return journey to earth. May your success continue to inspire generations across Ghana, Africa, and the world to believe that there's no height that is insurmountable. Congratulations, Christina. Ghana is proud of you!

Ghana and France continue to deepen our relations on all fronts, and I am grateful for the honour to co-chair the One Health Summit in Lyon where I laid out the objectives of the Accra Reset initiative within the framework of the One Health agenda. Today’s meetings with President Emmanuel Macron and the President of the French Senate further demonstrate the shared values of our two countries. Ghana is delighted to be selected as the first beneficiary of France’s health compact. #GhanaFrance

There is something profoundly reassuring about the friendship between Ghana and Zimbabwe. It has endured the test of time, it has adapted to changing circumstances, and remains anchored in the mutual respect and trust that exist between us. We celebrated that friendship when I hosted President Emmerson Mnangagwa to a state banquet last night. #GhanaZimbabwe

I am looking forward to the upcoming State Visit to Ghana by His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe. The 1 to 3 April visit will celebrate the historic bonds between Ghana and Zimbabwe. We are two countries whose destinies have been intertwined since the liberation struggles that shaped modern Africa. Our steadfast support for Zimbabwe's independence movement remains a proud legacy that continues to shape our bilateral relations. Welcome to Accra, President Mnangagwa, and let us work to enhance the strategic partnership between our two nations. #GhanaZimbabwe
