Kofi Bentil, the Vice President of IMANI Africa, has voiced strong endorsement for Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s tenure as Foreign Affairs Minister, while also championing Ghana’s strategic ambitions to integrate into the BRICS economic alliance.
During an analytical panel discussion on TV3, Bentil shared his perspective on the nation’s current diplomatic trajectory, highlighting both administrative competence and the broader geopolitical landscape.
Bentil admitted to closely scrutinizing the Foreign Affairs Minister’s record for missteps, noting that his thorough evaluation yielded zero shortcomings, cementing a stellar review of Ablakwa’s public service.
Emphasizing the economic potential of the Global South, Bentil argued that Ghana has everything to gain by seeking membership in the coalition comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and expanding partners.

The advocacy for BRICS integration underscores a growing national dialogue on looking past traditional Western allies to unlock fresh avenues for trade, investment, and infrastructure development.
Experts note that while joining the bloc holds immense promise, the ultimate translation into tangible economic growth will hinge heavily on strategic negotiation and implementation terms.
“I have looked for faults in the minister’s work, but I have not found any,” Bentil remarked, signaling a rare cross-cutting approval of administrative excellence in Ghana’s foreign policy sector.
As developing nations increasingly look toward emerging economic powerhouses to buffer against global financial shifts, voices like Bentil’s add momentum to Ghana’s exploratory foreign policy maneuvers. Whether these diplomatic overtures successfully materialize into long-term prosperity will depend on meticulous policy execution in the months ahead.
