Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has reassured Ghanaians that the government remains committed to safeguarding its citizens abroad, particularly in times of difficulty or danger. In a statement issued on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, he emphasised that “no Ghanaian would be abandoned in harm’s way.”
Mr. Ablakwa also praised the staff of Ghana’s embassy in the United Arab Emirates for their dedication to the Black Queens during their stay. The delegation, comprising 25 players and 16 officials, has received consistent support from the mission. “I commend our embassy staff in the UAE for their remarkable patriotism, courage, compassion, and professionalism as they continue to look out for the Black Queens, extending consular support and ensuring their collective safety,” he noted.
The Minister’s comments come at a time of rising tensions in parts of the region, prompting diplomatic missions to strengthen efforts to monitor and protect Ghanaian nationals overseas. He concluded his statement with the national pledge, “For God and Country.”
