United Republic of Tanzania opens new consulate in Ghana

The United Republic of Tanzania announces the opening of its new consulate in Ghana, having received the Exequatur of the President of the Republic of Ghana through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of the Republic of Ghana. The new consulate will be located in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

The opening of the new consulate will further boost the long history of trade, investment, and Pan-African cooperation between the two countries. As is well known, Ghana and Tanzania enjoy a cordial relationship dating back to the independence era when our founding leaders Mwalimu Julius Nyerere and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah were pioneers in the pursuit of African solidarity.

The two countries have maintained this relationship through diplomatic engagements, cultural exchanges, and educational programmes.

The consulate will be headed by H.E. Dr. Ken Kwaku, who has been appointed as the Honorary Consul-General of Tanzania to Ghana. Dr. Kwaku is a successful international civil servant with a long history of ties to both Tanzania and Ghana.

Dr. Ken Kwaku said that opening the consulate, “it has been long overdue for Tanzania to have a strong diplomatic presence in Ghana. I was honored to play a key role in opening the Ghana Consulate in Tanzania. Today, this consulate will continue that effort all in the name of Pan-African cooperation”.
