President John Dramani Mahama delivered a compelling address at the opening plenary of the Doha Forum 2025, where he joined world leaders, policymakers, and global thinkers to discuss the forum’s central theme: “Reimagining Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”
Standing before an influential international audience, President Mahama emphasized the urgent need for renewed global solidarity as nations confront economic instability, geopolitical tensions, and rapidly evolving technological landscapes. He noted that the world is increasingly interconnected yet deeply divided, and called for deliberate partnership-building, especially between the Global North and the Global South.
Mahama highlighted Africa’s pivotal role in shaping the world’s next phase of development. He stressed the continent’s growing youth population, its expanding digital economy, and its rising influence in global diplomacy. According to him, sustainable growth on the African continent will require investment in modern infrastructure, education, and innovation-driven industries key areas where international cooperation can make a defining impact.
The former Ghanaian president also addressed global peace and security, urging nations to adopt dialogue-based approaches to conflict resolution. He warned that humanitarian crises and regional conflicts from West Africa to the Middle East continue to destabilize vulnerable populations and must be tackled through coordinated action grounded in fairness and mutual respect.
Mahama ended his speech with a call for a new global moral compass, one that prioritizes justice, inclusivity, and shared progress over narrow national interests. His message received strong acknowledgment from participants, positioning him once again as one of Africa’s most influential voices on the global stage.
