Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, a celebrated media personality popularly known as KKD, has been appointed Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Caribbean Region by President John Dramani Mahama.

His appointment comes at a time when Ghana is seeking to consolidate its international relations and deepen bilateral ties with countries across the Caribbean.

As Special Envoy, KKD is expected to play a key role in strengthening diplomatic, cultural, and economic cooperation between Ghana and Caribbean nations—regions linked by deep historical, cultural, and ancestral connections.

His mandate covers Caribbean countries such as Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados, among others.

The role is central to Ghana’s broader foreign policy drive, which includes expanding trade and investment opportunities, promoting Ghanaian culture globally, and engaging Caribbean partners on shared development challenges.
