President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned four career diplomats with a mandate to attract investment, expand markets for Ghanaian products and protect the interests of citizens abroad.
The ceremony took place at the Jubilee House in Accra on Friday, October 16, 2026, as part of the government’s efforts to align diplomatic engagements with its Resetting Ghana Agenda.
The envoys are Nana Antwiwaa Dodoo, assigned to Angola; Louis Kwame Obeng, to Qatar; Evelyn Korantemaa Ofosu-Amable, to Israel; and Jedidiah Reuben Adogla, who will serve as Ghana’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland.

He urged them to pursue partnerships that support domestic priorities, including the 24-Hour Economy policy and the Big Push infrastructure initiative. Their assignments also include seeking expertise and capital to advance local processing of mineral resources such as bauxite, lithium and manganese.
For Ghana’s mission in Angola, Nana Antwiwaa Dodoo was tasked with working towards the seventh session of the Ghana-Angola Permanent Joint Commission for Cooperation in 2027. She was also directed to sustain international engagement on reparatory justice.
Louis Kwame Obeng’s responsibilities in Qatar include overseeing the implementation of the labor-mobility agreement while ensuring that the rights and welfare of Ghanaian workers are protected.
Evelyn Korantemaa Ofosu-Amable was charged with strengthening agricultural technology partnerships with Israel and safeguarding Ghanaian health professionals and interns. The President also reaffirmed Ghana’s support for a two-state solution.
In Geneva, Jedidiah Reuben Adogla will focus on multilateral cooperation, human rights and Ghana’s health sovereignty objectives.
President Mahama further urged the envoys to protect Ghana’s sovereign interests as they navigate changing international alliances and trade restrictions. He stressed that their diplomatic work should produce practical benefits for the country and its citizens.
