- His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II of Ghana, the Asantehene and monarch of the Ashanti Kingdom, arrived in Trinidad and Tobago to celebrate the emancipation of slaves.
Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, During his trip to Ghana in March 2020,Rowley issued an invitation to The Asantehene. Subsequently, he attended the Ashanti Region's celebration of Ghana's 63rd Independence as the honorary guest of honor. Prior to this, the Prime Minister had suggested that closer connections with Ghana may be advantageous for Trinidad and Tobago in terms of commerce and business.
The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, previously visited T&T in 2019 to advance interest to both countries in the fields of energy, health, finance, education, tourism and culture, during meetings with former President, Paula-Mae Weekes and the Prime Minister.
During His Majesty’s acceptance of the Prime Minister’s invitation, The Asantehene said, “I feel it will be a part of me. My people are there and my brothers and sisters are there, therefore it’s more of an excitement to see where they are.”
The Monarch was keen to note that Ghana can benefit from learning from this country in the areas of gas development and engineering. Additionally, the Asentehene expressed his anticipation of the establishment of an Ashanti village in Trinidad and Tobago and the formation of linkages between the Caribbean and Ghana.
During the slave trade, many enslaved West Africans were brought to the Caribbean. Following the abolition of slavery in 1834, the African Diaspora established themselves and their cultures, leaving a unique mark on the tapestry of the history of Trinidad and Tobago. In 1985, the historic decision was made to Memorialize the liberation of enslaved Africans with a public holiday.
