President Akufo-Addo also commended Liz Truss for her earlier role in assisting Ghana to sign a trade deal with the UK.
For us, in Ghana, we recall the constructive, instrumental role she played, as Trade Secretary, in the signing of a ÂŁ1.2bn trade deal between Ghana and the UK last year, which has reinforced the strength of the relations between our two countries.
Liz Truss won the Conservative Party leadership race on Tuesday.
