At a lunch hosted for new heads of governments from The Commonwealth by King Charles III.

Very interesting conversations, networking and identifying how we can strengthen relations between our countries and make The Commonwealth stronger. #CHOGM2026

With Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the sidelines of the CHOGM 2026 today.

I commend Prime Minister Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband for their moral leadership in recognising that confronting historical truth is not a sign of weakness, but an act of statesmanship and justice.

At the 3rd Russia–Africa Summit in Moscow, today, I reaffirmed Africa’s firm commitment to ending longstanding dependency on foreign aid and raw material extraction, urging our global partners to embrace investment models that deliver equitable, long-term returns for all.

Our goal as Africa’s current leaders is to eliminate administrative bottlenecks and transform historic goodwill into robust, sustainable commercial ties. Africa is a continent of the future. Immense opportunities abound for mutual investment between African and Russian enterprises, particularly in agriculture, agro-processing, healthcare, energy security, and digital services.

To address trade imbalances and create direct market access for African goods, we must deploy modernised trade settlement mechanisms, including the use of local currencies and integrated digital payments. Better market information, predictable quality standards, resilient logistics, and closer cooperation between our respective private sectors can make trade far more balanced, reliable, and mutually rewarding.

Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your well-deserved re election as President of Brazil.

Brazil and Ghana share a rich history, and I look forward to further strengthening our bilateral relations.

Together, through the Accra Reset initiative, we will continue championing the Global South agenda for the betterment of our peoples.
Parabéns!
