Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed as false a circulating notice claiming that Ghanaians have been ordered to leave Cambodia.
According to Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Cambodian authorities have officially confirmed that no such directive was ever issued.
He added that the Cambodian Ministry of Interior has also released a clarification stating that the alleged notice is entirely untrue.
The Minister further explained that prior to the spread of the false information, some Ghanaians in Cambodia had already contacted the ministry requesting assistance for evacuation, and support efforts were underway through Ghana’s diplomatic mission in Malaysia.
He disclosed that between March and May this year, the government successfully evacuated 85 Ghanaians from Cambodia, with an additional 76 currently being processed for evacuation.
Mr. Ablakwa assured that the welfare and safety of Ghanaians abroad remain a top priority for the government, reaffirming ongoing efforts to protect citizens wherever they are located.
