My deep and sincere condolences go out to the people of Iran and the family of President Ebrahim Raisi. I had the honour of visiting the Iranian Embassy in Accra on Friday to sign the book of condolence for President Raisi, whose loss is deeply felt.
Ghana and Iran share a special bond, and I was privileged to work on strengthening our relationship during my time in office. I am committed to continuing this cooperation when I return to office in 2025.
During such difficult times, we must come together and offer our support and sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Iran as they mourn the loss of their leader.
