Congratulations to John Dramani Mahama and NDC on the victory in the 2024 elections, and to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for accepting the results so gracefully. Both leaders are serving Ghana and democracy! 🇳🇴looks forward to cooperating with the 🇬🇭new leadership!

Human rights are not optional. On #HumanRightsDay, Norway stands firm in defending human rights, amid rising conflicts, disinformation and inequality. We must confront challenges with renewed support and commitment to human rights defenders, international law, and peace.🕊️
