Speaking on the theme: "Forging Stronger Partnerships in Africa for Sustainable Economic Development," she underscored the importance of city-to-city diplomacy. Prof Opoku-Agyemang stated, "City-to-city partnerships continue to provide solutions to shared challenges and create opportunities for investment and mutual learning."
Sister Cities International, founded in 1956, is a non-profit network headquartered in Washington, DC, connecting US communities with global partners through cultural, educational, and trade exchanges. Prof Opoku-Agyemang reiterated Ghana's commitment to strengthening local governance through decentralisation, noting that under President John Dramani Mahama's Reset Agenda, Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies remained central to national development. She explained that these Assemblies were being empowered with greater resources and responsibilities to improve the delivery of quality education, healthcare, infrastructure, and other essential public services. Prof Opoku-Agyemang also highlighted Ghana's strategic role as host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat.
