The delegation led by the Prime Minister and NRM Secretary-General Amama Mbabazi was received at Kotoka International Airport by the Ghanaian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation, Chris Kpodo on Sunday. 

 

The three-day meeting is taking place at Fiesta Royale Hotel on the theme “Strengthening Inter-party relations for stronger democracies in Africa”.  It was organised by Ghana’s Institute of Economic Affairs and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy.

Later he will participate in a joint press briefing with the former Ghanaian Prime Minister and now Chairman of the National Planning Development Commission, P. V. Obeng, before making a courtesy call on the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Atta Mills to wrap up the trip.
