The Mayor of Los Angeles in the United States of America, Karen Bass, is exploring avenues to deepen and strengthen the collaboration between her community and the Asante Kingdom for a change.
This was revealed in a message read for her by Kimberly Stotzer, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of New Community Investment, a club committed to giving monetary resources to minority communities in Los Angeles.
Per the message read and later presented to the King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Mayor praised the “deep relationship” Los Angeles has with the Ghanaians in the city and added, they esteem their numerous contributions in Los Angeles.

“The delegation is excited to support continued cooperation between our two nations and they look forward to learning and exploring other partnership opportunities.”
The Mayoress further expressed her obligation to cooperating with Otumfuo to expand on Ghana’s diasporan commitment strategy which she said has brought about huge economic, social and cultural advantages for both Ghana and Los Angeles.
This, she expects, will bring the imperative change required by the two sides.
“I’m committed to deepening our collaborations and strengthening ties between our communities. I look forward to finding more opportunities for change in the years to come,” Ms Stotzer read.
Stotzer was part of a group from Memphis in the USA who paid a visit to the King at the Manhyia Royal Palace on Sunday, October 15, 2023.
