Members of the community also had the opportunity to share their perspectives and offer recommendations on ways to deepen collaboration.

The High Commission remains dedicated to continuous dialogue with its diaspora and to building stronger partnerships that will contribute to the realisation of the Government of Ghana's development agenda.
