Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama arrived in Beijing on Saturday to participate in the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, a high-level gathering focused on advancing gender equality and women's leadership worldwide. The event, hosted by the Chinese mainland, brings together policymakers and advocates to address systemic barriers to women's empowerment.
Analysts note the summit underscores Asia's growing role in shaping global social agendas, with Ghana's participation highlighting Africa-Asia collaboration on sustainable development goals. President Mahama's attendance follows Ghana's recent initiatives to expand women's access to education and political representation, mirroring similar efforts across developing economies.
The meeting comes as international organizations push for greater female participation in climate governance and post-pandemic recovery strategies. While specific agenda items remain undisclosed, insiders suggest discussions will address workforce inclusion policies and cross-border partnerships for women-led enterprises.
