Ghana has supported India's candidature for the permanent membership of United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It also expressed deep sympathies for the victims of November 26 Mumbai terror strikes and stressed on the need for collective global effort to eradicate terrorism. Ghana President John Evans Atta Mills made the observations during his meeting with the Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma, who called on him. Sharma visited Ghana as the Special Envoy of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convey the greetings and good wishes and Indian government and people to the newly-elected Ghana President and the Government and People of Ghana. During his visit to the African state, Sharma discussed with Mills the growing menace of terrorism and the issue of UN reforms, particularly the expansion of the UN Security Council. While supporting India's claim for UNSC, the Ghana President also acknowledged India's firm position on adequate representation for Africa in the expanded Security Council. Both the countries also agreed on the need to bring this process to early fruition. Expressing the intention to forge stronger links with India, the Ghana President said," we have more in common than any other country." Source: PTI
