While in Austria, Bright was hosted by Ghana’s Ambassador to Austria and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Vienna, H.E. Matilda Aku Alomatu Osei-Agyeman, for an insightful discussion. They exchanged views on Ghana’s growing role on the global stage and ongoing efforts to promote integrity, good governance, and youth empowerment.
