š” MediaFx Commentary (Peopleās Perspective)
From workingāclass India and Ghana, this visit shows the power of real people-to-people partnershipsānot just elites. š®š³š¬š When nations share cultural dances & ayurveda wisdom, invest in small farmers, and teach young minds through scholarships, itās not just diplomacyāitās solidarity in action. These moves build grassroots equality and peace far stronger than corporate deals or power politics. Kudos to governments who choose people over profits! ā #MediaFxPerspective
