His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse, exchanged pleasantries with King Charles III, King of the United Kingdom, and Queen Camilla at the Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration.
Discussions centered on the spirit of collaboration, diversity, and the enduring values shared among member states of the Commonwealth.
The King’s Commonwealth message praised the association of 56 countries as a family “united by shared values of justice, democracy, opportunity, compassion and mutual respect”.
The Commonwealth can be a “force for good”, against a backdrop of wars and international tension in which, “communities and nations face the increasing pressures of conflict, climate change and rapid transformation,” said the King’s message, printed alongside the order of service.
The Commonwealth celebration is a prestigious event that celebrates the unity, heritage, and shared values of the Commonwealth of Nations, bringing together members of the Royal Family, leaders, dignitaries, and representatives from across the Commonwealth.
Notable attendees included: Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth; Hon. Zita Sabah Benson, Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland; HRM Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of the Kingdom of Warri, Delta State; and Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs.
