Ghana thanks Carney for working to fix a 'rigged global system' for African countries
Ghana thanked Canada for backing debt and climate reforms as Ottawa said it will name a special envoy for Africa after months of vacancy.
- On Tuesday, Ghana's President John Mahama met Prime Minister Mark Carney at the Commonwealth summit in Antigua, praising Carney as a "fresh, new voice in terms of global advocacy."
- Mahama criticized a "rigged global system" that forces African nations to borrow at high rates despite contributing only four per cent to global climate crises yet facing severe climate impacts.
- The president also noted Carney's advocacy against the "breakdown in multilateralism," stating Canada has borne "the brunt of some of the strongest tariffs" during the ongoing trade war.
- Following these discussions, Global Affairs Canada confirmed a new continental envoy for Africa will be appointed, though officials have not set a timeline for filling the post vacant since June.
- The appointment aligns with Canada's Africa Strategy, which shifts policy focus from traditional foreign aid toward economic engagement and trade with the continent's young population.
