have been checking on the welfare of Ghanaians in the UAE during my working visit.

Really happy to have met Philip Degbevi (first frame) and to see that he has made a full recovery after sustaining injuries from a missile attack at the Dubai Airport.

I am equally glad to report that all three Ghanaians who were injured in the UAE as a result of the recent Middle East conflict are recovering quite well.

The Government of Ghana commends UAE authorities for their kind support for all the Ghanaian victims.

We are committed to ensuring that all victims are adequately compensated.

The Mahama Administration is determined to extend consular assistance and empathy to the victims and all Ghanaians living in the Gulf countries at this period of heightened hostilities.

I also met with the leadership of the Ghanaian community and assured them of the strong solidarity of their Government in these turbulent times.

There are about 60,000 Ghanaians living in the UAE with varying backgrounds including pilots, engineers, teachers, business executives, domestic workers and hospitality professionals.

I commend our Ambassador and the Consul General for the great job they are doing.

For God and Country
