On 15 April 2026, Diplomacy SA paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Benjamin Kofi Quashie at the Ghana High Commission, reinforcing the growing diplomatic and communication ties between South Africa and Ghana.

The meeting marked an important moment of engagement following the High Commissioner’s successful presentation of credentials—an essential diplomatic milestone that formally signifies the beginning of an ambassadorial tenure. Diplomacy SA extended its congratulations and acknowledged the significance of this achievement in strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.

Central to the discussion was the exploration of collaborative opportunities in media and communications. Both parties emphasised the importance of leveraging strategic communication platforms to enhance public diplomacy and ensure that accurate, accessible information reaches broader audiences.

The engagement highlighted a shared vision to bridge the information gap that often exists between diplomatic missions and the public. By strengthening communication channels, Diplomacy SA and the Ghana High Commission aim to foster deeper understanding, promote cultural exchange, and create meaningful connections between the people of South Africa and Ghana.

Furthermore, the dialogue underscored the growing role of media in shaping international relations. Through potential partnerships in digital platforms, storytelling, and public engagement initiatives, both institutions are committed to advancing a more inclusive and people-centred approach to diplomacy.

This courtesy visit reflects Diplomacy SA’s ongoing commitment to supporting diplomatic missions and enhancing international cooperation through innovative communication strategies. It also reaffirms the strong and enduring relationship between South Africa and Ghana, built on mutual respect, shared values, and a collective vision for African collaboration.

As Diplomacy SA continues to engage with members of the diplomatic corps, such interactions serve as a foundation for strengthening not only government-to-government relations but also people-to-people connections across the continent.
