Rita Tani Iddi explaining issues at the launch
Ghana’s deputy High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Rita Tani Iddi has urged Africans in the Diaspora to visit Ghana this year to experience what she calls “The new dawn” and also celebrate ‘the strengths and resilience’ of the African spirit.
“Come and experience the sounds, music, people and unique scenery of Ghana, a country dotted with some of the UNESCO heritages that unfold the silent memorials of our history,” she said.
Mrs Tani Iddi was speaking at the Media launch of Panafest International Expo (PIE) UK, an event to showcase and bring Africans in the Diaspora together to get them to take part in activities that make the Pan-African festival which takes place every two years.
Minister Plenipotentiary and Head of Chancery at the Ghana Commission UK, Mrs. Matilda Alomatu Osei Agyeman advised attendees at the media launch, made up of Caribbean and nationals of other African countries not to sit on the fence as Ghana opens its arms to Africans and people of African descent.
Other speakers at the event included Mr. Kofi Addo, Mrs. Joyce Koranteng Asamoah in charge of Commonwealth and the Diaspora, Mrs. Adoma Dennis, Minister Counsellor at the Welfare and Consular department and Mrs Freda Bediako Puni of the Political and Economy Department of the Ghana High Commission.
