WELCOME TO THE 2023

FICAC Regional Conference for Honorary Consuls

We are thrilled to invite you to join us for this year's conference, which will take place from May 26-29, 2023, at the stunning Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra, Ghana.

This conference will bring together Honorary Consuls from across the African region to explore the theme of "FICAC Perspectives on Africa and the Role of Honorary Consuls."

We believe that Honorary Consuls play a critical role in promoting trade, investment, and cultural exchange between Africa and other regions, and we are excited to explore how we can build on this important work.

Highlights of the conference include:

Keynote addresses from thought-provoking leaders in the field of international relations and diplomacy
Interactive workshops and panel discussions on a range of topics, including trade and investment, cultural diplomacy, and consular services in Africa
Networking opportunities with Honorary Consuls from across the African region
Opportunities to explore the vibrant city of Accra and learn about its unique culture and history
