President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and US Vice President Kamala Harris held a joint press conference on Monday, March 27. President Akufo-Addo made a bold assurance to the US Vice President, stating that “Ghana will continue to collaborate with the United States of America at all levels particularly, toward a peaceful resolution of conflicts for global peace and security to promote sustainable development around the world.”
In response, Vice President Harris expressed her admiration for President Akufo-Addo’s instrumental role in ensuring stability in the region, particularly in response to recent democratic backsliding in West Africa. She went on to announce an impressive $100 million in support of Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire, and Togo to combat extremism and instability.
“We appreciate your leadership and response to recent democratic backsliding in West Africa and standing up for democratic principles around the world,” Harris said. “We also recognize Ghana’s significant contribution to the Sahel.”
The collaboration between Ghana and the US is set to promote sustainable development and enhance global peace and security, showcasing the remarkable leadership and commitment of both countries toward creating a brighter future.
