Africa Needs Partnerships Rooted in Respect and Mutual Benefit- Otumfuo Tells Polish Investors

The King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has given Polish investors a glimpse of the calibre of partnership Africa now seeks.

Addressing a group at the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, on May 29, 2026, Otumfuo stated that the partnership must be rooted in respect and mutual benefit.

This partnership, His Majesty noted, must deviate from the old, destructive relationships.

“But the partnership must be different from the old, destructive relationships. The partnership must be rooted in respect. It must be built on mutual benefit. It must be valuable to both sides.”

“It must go beyond raw materials and finished imports. It must involve technology, skills, industry, finance, education, agriculture, culture and Huma connection. Africa has land, Poland has technology.”

Otumfuo stated that Africa’s ready markets, minerals, food, potential, creativity and cultural confidence will complement Poland’s experienced industries, manufacturing capability, access to the European market, and expertise in engineering, logistics, education and agriculture.

“Together, we can create something powerful.”
