Congratulations to my brother and friend President @NAkufoAddo on your re-election. It is a testament to the trust the people of Ghana have placed in you. We look forward to continued friendship between our two nations and collaboration towards the prosperity of our people.<\/p>\n

Last month, Rwanda and Ghana resolved to boost bilateral relations with a broad, varied economic agenda at the core. In the same period, Rwanda inaugurated the Chancery of the Rwandan High Commission in Accra.<\/p>\n

The two countries also pledged their commitment to make the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA), whose secretariat is hosted by Ghana, work.<\/p>\n

The commitment of the two governments came as a major boost to intra-Africa trade prospects ahead of the implementation of AFCFTA agreement, set to come into force in January 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
