Morocco's King Mohammed VI to visit Ghana

Xinhua, January 18, 2017 Adjust font size:

King Mohammed VI of Morocco will pay an official visit to Ghana from Wednesday, the Flagstaff House said in a statement on Tuesday.

The visit is aimed at deepening the existing cordial relations between Ghana and Morocco as well as present an opportunity to define new areas of co-operation that will serve the mutual interests of the two countries, said the statement signed by Eugene Arhin, Acting Communications Director at the presidency.

President Nana Akufo-Addo will on Friday hold bilateral talks with the Moroccan King before hosting him to an official lunch at the Flagstaff House, the seat of government.

King Mohammed will thereafter depart for Morocco.

Ghana and Morocco share a historic bond dating back to the early 1950s when the country's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, played a pioneering role with his Moroccan counterpart to free the continent of colonialist influence. Endit
