At the orientation of Ghana’s newly appointed envoys in Accra on Monday, September 1, 2025, the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, delivered a passionate call for Africa to become a true “common home for all Africans.” Addressing the gathered diplomats, he urged the full implementation of visa regimes that foster pan-African unity and cooperation.
“Let us fully implement visa regimes that will make Africa a more common home for all Africans. This is an indispensable part of our pan-African agenda,” King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II declared. He emphasized the need for reciprocal agreements in immigration policies, highlighting the importance of fairness in requirements, timelines, and the fees charged by embassies during visa processing.
The Ga Mantse also turned his attention to the challenges faced by Ghanaian students studying abroad. He called on the government to adopt a more efficient and sustainable system for paying the fees of government-sponsored students, noting that many currently struggle with financial difficulties.
Beyond immigration and education, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II encouraged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to elevate cultural diplomacy. He advocated for greater involvement of traditional leaders in promoting Ghana’s cultural heritage on the global stage, suggesting that cultural exchanges could become a powerful tool to boost tourism and strengthen bilateral relationships.
The Ga Mantse’s remarks set a visionary tone for the new envoys, underscoring the importance of unity, education, and culture in shaping Ghana’s role within Africa and the wider world.
