"Mr. Abbam’s journey with the Ghana Foreign Service was remarkable. His time in the service witnessed the establishment of many Ghana Missions abroad, to which he contributed immensely." - Minister, Management and Staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ghana 

​

"​​This is a man who through devotion in his training, built acareer in diplomacy and brought peace and development wherever he went. In the same vein he wished same for his people" - The Effutu Paramountcy ("To a worthy son of the Effutu Stool")

Peter Kwamena Abbam left behind a legacy of truthfulness, honesty and service without expectation. Through diplomacy, he gave newly independent Ghana  a voice in circles they had previously been excluded. The Peter Abbam Prize will thus seek out and reward those who use diplomatic approaches and methods to help construct a better world as H.E. Peter Abbam did.
