President John Mahama has commissioned a new Chancery for Ghana’s Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The magnificent edifice was inaugurated at an event attended by the Foreign Minister of Ethiopia, Dr Gedion Timothewos, as the special guest on February 16, 2026.
The event took place after the 39th African Union (AU) Summit.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, described the facility as more than just a new building.
“It is an affirmation of Ghana’s firm belief in multilateralism, our demonstrable commitment to the African Union vision and our strong resolve to deepen the cherished bilateral relations with the friendly nation of Ethiopia,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
The project has a ten-year history, dating back to the arrangement of funding under the 2016 SG-SSB facility. Construction began but stalled due to economic challenges.
The current government resumed the project and paid outstanding IPCs last year, he reported.
According to Ablakwa, the timely commissioning of the new Chancery also signals President Mahama’s readiness to assume the Chairmanship of the African Union next year.
Meanwhile, he commended staff at the Ministry and the Embassy for bringing the project to fruition.
