Accra, Nov. 30, - French
President Emmanuel Macron arrived Accra on Thursday for a day's official visit
to Ghana.
The visit to Ghana, the first for
a French President, forms part of Mr Macron's three- nation tour of Africa,
which has taken him to Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire.
The French leader seeks to renew
his country's relations with Africa, as well as give a boost to the crusade
against migration and Islamic militancy in the Sahel region.
His Ghana visit, considered
historical because of its diplomatic and economic advantages, would emphasis
trade, investment, education and sports, and bolster six decades of relations
with Accra.
Mr Macron was met on arrival at
the Kotoka International Airport by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The French leader would join
President Akufo-Addo at the Independence Square, where both leaders would lay
wreaths and light the Perpetual Flame at the Liberation Monument at the Square.
They would later jointly address
the media, after which they would retire to the Flagstaff for bilateral talks
and Lunch.
Mr Macron would leave for his
country later in the day.
