Ghana\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that Ghana\u2019s embassy in Tehran will fully reopen on Tuesday, September 16, after being closed for three months due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The closure followed the escalation of hostilities between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel. Mr Ablakwa explained that the precautionary move was necessary to protect Ghanaian citizens and diplomatic staff at a time of uncertainty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can announce that after three months of closure of our embassy in Iran, we shall fully reopen tomorrow, the 16th of September,\u201d he said at the Government\u2019s Accountability Series. <\/p>\n

Measures have been put in place to guarantee the safety of our diplomatic staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Minister highlighted that during the period of conflict, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mounted swift and coordinated diplomatic and logistical interventions to safeguard Ghanaians in the affected region.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the recent escalation of the hostilities between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel, the Ministry undertook swift and coordinated diplomatic and logistical intervention to ensure the safety of Ghanaian nationals in the affected region. These efforts culminated in the successful evacuation of 17 citizens, underscoring our unwavering dedication to safeguarding the welfare of Ghanaians irrespective of their location,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

According to him, the evacuation stands as a demonstration of Ghana\u2019s preparedness to act decisively in moments of global crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis operation is another testament to our capacity for rapid response in times of global uncertainty. It reinforces the importance of maintaining strong diplomatic networks and proactive contingency planning through our missions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Ablakwa further assured that the Ministry remains vigilant in monitoring international developments and will continue to act swiftly whenever the safety and security of Ghanaian citizens and foreign service officials are at stake.<\/p>\n
