Abdul-Rashid Praises Mahama’s UNGA Address as Bold and Decisive
Dr Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo says President Mahama’s 81st UNGA speech in New York was impressive, bold and promoted Ghana’s position.
Dr Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo, Minister of State for Special Initiatives, has praised President John Mahama’s address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. He described the speech as bold and decisive, saying it showed Ghana’s willingness to speak up on issues affecting the country and the wider African continent. The praises came during an interview on The Pulse with Elton Brobbey on JoyNews, where the minister congratulated the President on his performance.
The President used the platform to highlight the Accra Reset, an initiative that seeks greater self-reliance for Ghana and reforms in the global economic and development system. He urged developing countries to reduce reliance on foreign aid and build local capacity, especially in areas such as pharmaceutical production and health financing. The Presidency says the Accra Reset aims to promote financial independence and equitable global partnerships.
Dr Pelpuo said the President’s presentation of Ghana’s position deserved public recognition. His comments come as the government links its domestic Resetting Ghana Agenda with broader efforts to reshape the international system. The initiative reflects a push for local value addition and stronger domestic institutions.
