Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom has described the Ghana House Project as a strategic platform to showcase the country’s economy, culture, investment opportunities, tourism potential, creative industries and sporting excellence ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Speaking on behalf of the High Commissioner, Sabah Zita Benson, at the official launch of the Ghana House Project at the Ghana High Commission in London on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, the Deputy Head of Mission, Aquinas Tawiah Quansah, said the initiative goes beyond a ceremonial event, describing it as a national statement of intent to leverage global platforms for Ghana’s development objectives.
“Today’s event is not merely a launch ceremony. It is a national statement of intent. It is a declaration that Ghana is prepared to use every available international platform to promote its economy, its culture, its investment opportunities, its tourism potential, its creative industries, its youth, and its sporting excellence,” he said.
He explained that the Ghana House Project gives practical meaning to Ghana’s economic diplomacy agenda by creating opportunities for investment, trade promotion, tourism development and international partnerships.
According to him, diplomacy in the modern era must move beyond traditional state-to-state relations and focus on opening markets, connecting investors, supporting exports and empowering young people.
“The Ghana House Project gives practical meaning to Ghana’s economic diplomacy agenda. It demonstrates that diplomacy today must go beyond formal engagements between states. Diplomacy must create opportunities. It must open markets. It must connect investors. It must promote exports. It must support tourism. It must empower the youth. It must project the national brand,” he stated.
The High Commissioner noted that although the Commonwealth Games are primarily a sporting event, Ghana House will provide an opportunity to use the international attention around the competition to promote Ghana’s broader national development agenda, including trade, investment, tourism, culture and creative industries.
He encouraged the Ghanaian diaspora, business leaders, investors and development partners to actively participate in the initiative, stressing that their support would be critical to making Ghana House a success.
The Ghana House Project, a platform established to promote trade, tourism, investment, culture and diaspora engagement during the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, has officially been launched at a press launch in London by the Deputy Head of Mission of the Ghana High Commission, Aquinas Tawiah Quansah, in the presence of the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) and the Chairman of the Ghana House Project Coordination Committee.
