US secretary of state: Ghana is a key partner in deepening global economic and security matters

The US secretary of state, Antony J Blinken, has touted Ghana’s key position in global and regional security and deepening economic ties for post-COVID-19 recovery and growth.

Blinken made this assertion when he and the assistant secretary of state for Africa, Molly Phee, met with Ghana’s vice-president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the United States to discuss the strong co-operation between the two countries, the prevailing security situation in the Sahel and West Africa, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and deepening economic ties for post-COVID-19 recovery.

Bawumia is in the US to represent Ghana and President Akufo-Addo at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting.
