H.E Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States of America, arrived in Ghana on Sunday,
March 26, 2023, to begin a week-long trip to Africa to strengthen ties between the US and
Africa. At the Kotoka International Airport, she was greeted by the Vice President of the
Republic of Ghana, H.E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, amid traditional dancing and drumming.
Her visit will centre on economic development, climate change, food security, and the country’s growing youth population. “On this trip, I intend to do work that’s focused on increasing investment here on the continent and facilitating economic growth and opportunity, specifically in the areas of economic empowerment of women and girls, empowerment of youth entrepreneurship, digital inclusion and support to the work that must be done to increase food security”, she said in a brief speech at the Kotoka International Airport’s Jubilee Lounge.
Kamala went on to say that she will build on previous efforts with Ghana’s President, H.E Nana
Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, to deepen democracy and good governance, promote peace and security, build long-term economic growth, and strengthen business ties.
She further added that, “I also look forward to, during this visit, meet with entrepreneurs,
students and farmers, to witness first-hand, the extraordinary innovation and creativity that’s
occurring on this continent and inspiring the world”.
H.E. Dr. Bawumia wished her team and herself a pleasant and fruitful stay in Ghana and
throughout the continent, as she will visit Tanzania and Zambia as well.
