The United Kingdom’s foreign secretary, Mr Boris Johnson, will visit Ghana on Wednesday, February 15, 2017.

He will meet President Nana Akufo-Addo during his visit to discuss key opportunities and challenges facing the country.

Ahead of the visit, Johnson said: ”I’m delighted to be the first Foreign Secretary to visit Gambia this week and delighted to have a chance to meet the newly elected President Barrow and President Akufo-Addo of Ghana. Their elections highlight the continuing strengthening of democracy in West Africa.”

The UK foreign secretary is also expected to visit the award-winning Blue Skies company, and hold meetings with business leaders and young entrepreneurs supported by the Department for International Development’s ENGINE project.

Johnson earlier met with Gambian president, Adama Barrow, who has announced that Gambia will rejoin the commonwealth.

“I am also very pleased that Gambia wants to rejoin the Commonwealth and we will ensure this happens in the coming months. The strength of our partnerships show that Global Britain is growing in influence and activity around the world,” he said.
