On the instructions of President Mahama, Ghana has made an additional donation of construction equipment, air-conditioned tents, boats, outboard motors, medical supplies, water purifiers, plumbing and electrical tools to the Jamaican government as they rebuild their country post Hurricane Melissa, Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said.
Mr. Ablakwa made the donation in Jamaica on behalf of the government of Ghana.
The Jamaican Foreign Minister, Kamina Abena Johnson Smith, JP, received the donation on behalf of the Jamaican government.
The request by the Jamaican Government for an extension of “Operation Boafo” from 30 days to 90 days has also been granted by Ghana’s Commander-in-Chief, according to Ablakwa.
He says “Ghana’s foreign policy would no longer be defined by how much we can take from others but by how much we can share with others, particularly our friends in distress.”
