The Diaspora Summit 2025 drew to a close at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday, Decmber 20, marking a significant milestone in strengthening ties between Ghana and its global diaspora while advancing the causes of reparatory justice and Pan‑African cooperation.
The summit brought together Ghanaians from across the world, heads of state, development partners, civil society leaders and representatives of diaspora organisations
President John Dramani Mahama urged Africans at home and abroad to work together to redefine their shared future and reclaim control of their history.
He paid tribute to Pan-African pioneers such as Dr Kwame Nkrumah and stressed the enduring bond between the continent and its diaspora.
The President reaffirmed Ghana’s intent to pursue international recognition of the transatlantic slave trade as the greatest crime against humanity.
A central focus of deliberations was reparatory justice. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, called for global, coordinated action to transform the discourse on reparations from rhetoric into tangible outcomes.
