The ceremony, which took place at Buckingham Palace, London, the official residence of the Queen, on Tuesday July 6, officially signifies the assumption of duty by the envoy.
Papa Owusu-Ankomah, who completed his first term as High Commissioner in November 2020, was re-appointed by President Akufo-Addo in March 2021 as Ghana’s envoy to the UK, making him the first Ghanaian High Commissioner to the UK to serve for two terms consecutively.

In his remarks after the ceremony, the High Commissioner extended his greetings and assured of his commitment to work with the British government in championing the progress and well-being of all Ghanaians in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
