The Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament has praised President John Dramani Mahama for his strong and thought-provoking address at the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Thursday, September 25.
President Mahama used his speech to call for decisive global action on a range of pressing issues, including lifting the blockade on Cuba, ending atrocities in Gaza, tackling the climate crisis, and granting Africa a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Reacting to the address during an interview on Channel One Newsroom on Thursday, the Vice Chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Cletus Dapilah, lauded the President’s delivery, describing it as bold and impactful.
“I will use this platform to commend President Mahama for demonstrating courage, boldness, capacity, knowledge and experience at the UN General Assembly,” he said in an interview with Channel One Newsroom.
The Committee further noted that Mahama’s proposals, if acted upon, could contribute significantly to reshaping global peace, justice, and equity.
