There are relationships that transcend diplomacy, rooted instead in admiration, trust, and a shared dream for a better world.
Such is the bond between Ghana and Barbados, beautifully symbolized in the warm exchange between Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and Barbados’ Prime Minister, Mia Amor Mottley.
In a heartfelt message on his official Facebook page, Hon. Ablakwa described his meeting with Prime Minister Mottley as “always a joyful honour,” praising her courage, clarity of vision, and compassion: qualities that continue to inspire and illuminate the path for the Global South.
He also celebrated a tangible manifestation of this friendship: the second batch of Ghanaian nurses and allied health professionals, set to journey to Barbados later this month.
This exchange is more than a program; it is a gesture of mutual care and solidarity, a living testament to two nations nurturing each other’s well-being.
“Ghana and Barbados will keep championing the same causes such as global financial reforms, UN reforms, health sovereignty and reparatory justice,” Hon. Ablakwa wrote, evoking the poetic symmetry of two countries moving in tandem, hearts aligned toward justice and equity.
The Minister concluded with a loving nod to history and heritage:
“Long live our great ancestral bilateral relations.”
