President Akufo-Addo has left Ghana on Thursday, March 8, 2018, to attend the International Solar Alliance, ISA Summit, being held in New Dehli, India.
President Akufo Addo left on the invitation of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.
The Summit, which is being attended by 25 Heads of State and Government, will provide a dedicated platform for co-operation amongst solar resource-rich countries, aimed at realising “the common goals of increasing the use of solar energy in meeting the energy needs of ISA member countries in a safe, convenient, affordable, equitable and sustainable manner.â€
The Summit will also result in the signing of a “New Delhi Declarationâ€, which will prioritise solar energy and, thereby, ensuring “power for allâ€.
Whilst there, President Akufo-Addo will also hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is expected to deepen the existing, cordial relations between Ghana and India, and will also present the two countries with an opportunity to define new areas of co-operation that would serve their mutual interests.
The President Akufo Addo is expected to return to Ghana on Monday, March 12, 2018.
