President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says that Ghana is committed to collaborate with the United States of America (US) at all levels in finding peaceful resolution to conflicts in the world.
President Akufo-Addo told a news conference after holding bilateral talks at the Jubilee House with visiting US Vice President, Ms Kamala Harris, in Accra on Monday that Ghana and the US had collaborated effectively on several matters over the years and that both countries reaffirmed their commitment to collaborate further to provide mutual support at both multi and bilateral levels.
“Ghana will continue to collaborate with the United States of America at all levels, particularly towards peaceful resolution of conflict and in the search of global peace and security to promote sustainable development around the world,” local media reports quoted President Akufo-Addo as saying.
According to the reports, the US Vice President assured her host that the US was in support of Ghana’s engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and would continue to push for all bilateral creditors to provide meaningful debt reduction for Ghana.
“I recognise the challenges Ghanaians are facing, especially in the wake of a global pandemic and the disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” she said, adding that the US welcomed Ghana’s commitment to reform its economy to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth.
Vice-President Harris also announced a $100-million support for Ghana, Benin, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Togo to help them address the threats of violent extremism and instability.
The US Vice President is on a three-day official visit to Ghana, which is the first leg of her visit to three African countries.
