The Ghana High Commission in London has officially launched the Ghana House Project, a strategic platform designed to showcase the country’s economy, culture, investment opportunities, tourism potential, creative industries, and sporting excellence ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The initiative was unveiled at a press event held at the Ghana High Commission on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and officially launched by the Deputy Head of Mission, Aquinas Tawiah Quansah.
Describing the launch as more than a ceremonial occasion, the Deputy Head of Mission called it a national statement of intent, affirming Ghana’s readiness to leverage every available international platform to advance its development agenda.
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.
The Deputy Head of Mission explained that the Ghana House Project gives practical expression to Ghana’s economic diplomacy agenda, creating avenues for investment promotion, trade facilitation, tourism development, and international partnerships.
He argued that modern diplomacy must transcend traditional state-to-state engagement to actively open markets, connect investors, promote exports, support tourism, and empower 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.
Leveraging the Commonwealth Games Platform
While acknowledging that the Commonwealth Games remain fundamentally a sporting event, the Deputy Head of Mission noted that Ghana House will use the global attention generated by the Games to advance the country’s broader development priorities, spanning trade, investment, tourism, culture, and the creative industries.
He called on the Ghanaian diaspora, business leaders, investors, and development partners to actively support the initiative, stressing that their participation would be central to its success.
High-Profile Attendance
The launch attracted notable dignitaries, including the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) and the Chairman of the Ghana House Project Coordination Committee, affirming the initiative’s significance as Ghana prepares to make its mark both on and off the field at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
