The renowned Ghanaian politician and key member of the ruling National Democratic Congress’s Zongo Caucus previously served as Ghana’s Ambassador to Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 2009 to 2017.
With many years of diplomatic and international relations experience under his belt, Alhaji Sinare is well-equipped to strengthen Ghana’s diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.
Alhaji Said Sinare comes from a family with deep connections to the NDC party, dating back to the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC).
Earlier this year, Alhaji Sinare’s cousin, Kalsoume Sinare, a veteran Ghanaian actress and model, was appointed as Ghana’s Ambassador to Spain.
This appointment is seen as a testament to the Sinare family’s contribution to the growth of the NDC within the Zongo communities across Ghana.

His appointment is a significant development that could have implications for Ghana’s diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, particularly in the areas of cultural exchange, given her background as a movie actress.
