Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, Victor Emmanuel Smith, has announced plans to tour the U.S. to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) into Ghana.

Speaking to Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Channel One TV on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, September 23, Ambassador Smith said he will work with his team to divide the U.S. into six zones upon returning to Washington.

Rather than attempting to cover every state, the zonal strategy is designed to focus on regions with higher potential for investment.

“As soon as I get back to Washington I have told my staff we are drawing up a plan to tour the US. We are going to divide the US into six zones. We cannot do each state and be effective, so we zone it and then look for those areas where we can whip up a lot of interests in foreign direct interests into our country to create the opportunities we are looking for our people,” he said.

The initiative is part of Ambassador Smith’s broader vision to strengthen economic ties between Ghana and stakeholders in the U.S., particularly within business and diaspora communities.

He emphasised that the move is intended to channel investment into sectors with growth potential, generate job opportunities, and support development back home.
