Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary Roseline Njogu today hosted H.E. Damptey Bediako Asare, the outgoing High Commissioner of Ghana to Kenya, who paid a farewell courtesy call at the State Department for Diaspora Affairs in Nairobi.
The meeting offered a moment of reflection on the High Commissioner’s tenure, marked by steady progress in strengthening the warm and historic ties between Kenya and Ghana. The two nations share a proud legacy of Pan-African leadership—traced to the visionary statesmanship of Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta—and continue to work together in advancing continental aspirations for unity, prosperity, and self-reliance.
Talks focused on deepening bilateral and multilateral cooperation, particularly in the area of diaspora engagement, where both countries see vast potential. PS Njogu and H.E. Asare underscored the strategic importance of harnessing diaspora skills, investments, and networks to drive economic and social transformation across Africa.
They also exchanged views on collaboration within the African Union, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and other international platforms. Discussions highlighted the need to strengthen trade, cultural exchange, education, and innovation, while advancing a shared vision of inclusive growth and sustainable development.
In her remarks, PS Njogu commended H.E. Asare for his invaluable contribution to strengthening Kenya–Ghana relations during his service in Nairobi. She praised his commitment to building bridges of friendship and fostering partnerships that have brought tangible benefits to citizens of both countries. She further conveyed her best wishes for his future endeavors, expressing confidence that his legacy will continue to inspire closer ties between the two nations.
The farewell call reaffirmed the enduring spirit of Pan-Africanism and the shared resolve of Kenya and Ghana to work in concert toward a stronger, more interconnected continent. It also underscored the central role of diplomacy and diaspora engagement in advancing regional cooperation and building a future of shared prosperity.
