Former President John Mahama has urged US Vice President Kamala Harris to use her visit to promote greater economic collaboration between the US and Africa.
Mr. Mahama welcomed Kamala Harris, who would be in Ghana for three days, and said her trip to the continent shows how interested the US is in the continent.
“I welcome Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States of America, to Ghana as she begins her one week working visit to Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia.
“Her presence in Ghana, following previous visits by Presidents of the U.S.A. in 1998, 2008 and 2009, re-affirms the durable friendship between Ghana and the U.S.A.; and further demonstrates the US’s growing interest in Africa,” Mr. Mahama stated.
He continued: “We look forward to the US collaborating with Africa to provide the needed support for economic cooperation, youth development and employment and enhanced security for global safety.”
