President John Dramani Mahama has been awarded an honorary doctorate by Yonsei University in South Korea in recognition of his leadership, commitment to democratic governance, and efforts to promote international cooperation.
The award ceremony took place on March 13, 2026, according to a statement shared by the Jubilee House. The honour highlights the strong and longstanding relationship between Ghana and South Korea, particularly in the areas of education, innovation, and global partnership.
The university recognised President Mahama’s record of public service and his role in strengthening Ghana’s international relations while promoting dialogue and collaboration between nations.
The recognition comes during the President’s five-day working visit to South Korea, which is focused on strengthening bilateral ties and exploring opportunities for trade, investment, and technological cooperation between the two countries.
During the visit, President Mahama also commissioned a modern Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) vessel on March 12 as part of efforts to deepen collaboration in energy and industrial development.
