President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo left Ghana on Sunday to 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.

The Strategy 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 Foreign Affairs Minister Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, and officials of the Presidency and Foreign Ministry.

He will return to Ghana on Tuesday, March 30, 2021. Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia shall act in his stead.
