AfCFTA Secretary-General pays courtesy call on Bawumia

The Secretary-General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Wamkele Mene, has paid a courtesy call on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, expressing gratitude for his support to the AfCFTA Secretariat during his tenure as Vice President of Ghana.
During the visit, Mr. Mene acknowledged Dr. Bawumia’s contributions to advancing the AfCFTA’s agenda, particularly in the areas of trade facilitation and digital integration.
“Your Excellency, I am here today to express my sincere gratitude for the support you extended to the AfCFTA Secretariat during your tenure as Vice President of the Republic,” he stated.
The discussions also touched on the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol, with a particular focus on Cross-Border Digital Payments, a key initiative aimed at enhancing trade efficiency across the continent.
Additionally, the Secretary-General commended Dr. Bawumia for his statesmanship in conceding defeat less than 24 hours after the December 2024 presidential elections, describing it as a move that further solidified Ghana’s democratic credentials.
“Ghana’s democratic credentials were further strengthened when you conceded defeat so swiftly.
You have indeed shown that you love your country and its people,” Mr. Mene remarked.
The AfCFTA leadership further encouraged Dr. Bawumia to continue offering his expertise and leadership in national and continental development efforts.
