I’ll pursue aggressive economic diplomacy to help fight unemployment in Ghana —Ablakwa

Foreign Affairs Minister-Designate Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has explained that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under John Dramani Mahama will use the country’s foreign policy to help fight unemployment in Ghana.

According to him, unlike in recent times when some agencies take Ghanaian youth to countries where they are manhandled and maltreated just because they know there are no repercussions.

To him, the country will be aggressively pursuing economic diplomacy in a way that allows for agreements to be signed to help export Ghanaian talents.

Indicating that there are several countries that are in need of Ghanaian human resources.

“Under my leadership, I will seek to aggressively pursue economic diplomacy in a way that allows for bilateral agreements to be signed. There are many countries looking for Ghanaian Nurses, Ghanaian teachers, and Ghanaian professionals, looking for Ghanaian workers in the domestic sector and Ghanaian artisans.

So why don’t we take advantage to solve our unemployment crisis and also to regulate the space? So that what is happening in the Gulf to our compatriots is addressed. When these receiving countries know that the labor they are receiving is not from a clandestine agency engaged in some human trafficking operation, they will be mindful of how they treat these people. Expect that one of our priority areas will be using foreign policy to address unemployment issues,” he told the appointments committee.
