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 £1.2bn trade deal between Ghana and the UK last year, which has reinforced the strength of the relations between our two countries.
