The players of La Liga giants, Real Madrid, have ensured that President Akufo-Addo had a memorable birthday even when he was away on international duty on his birthday.

The Los Blancos players gifted the President with an autographed jersey, which was presented to him by the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, on Monday.

The Spanish champions uniquely designed a jersey to mark President Akufo-Addo's 77^th birthday which falls on March 29.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Sunday left Ghana for Spain to attend the ‘Focus Africa 2023’ Conference, being held in Madrid.

Focus Africa 2023, an in-person Conference, defines Spanish foreign action in Africa until 2023, and forms part of the Spanish Foreign Action Strategy 2021-2024.

It includes the specific actions the Spanish Government intends to take with key stakeholders in Africa, including Ghana, and it is aligned with the realisation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s 2063 Agenda.

The President was accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, and officials of the Presidency and Foreign Ministry.
