Gbagbo, Kufuor Confer over Ivoriain
Crisis
Accra, Feb. 4, Ghanadot.com – Ghana’s President John Agyekum
Kufuor just within a week of becoming African Union Chairman
started diplomatic moves at upping the pace of peace in
neighbouring Ivorian Coast with a visit on Sunday by
President Laurent Gbagbo.
Details of the one day visit were not disclosed but believed
strongly to centre on the Ivorian crisis.
Sources close to the meeting told Ghanadot.com that, “the
discussions between the two Presidents centred on ways to
move the Ivorian peace process forward and see how best we
can sustain peace in Cot d’Ivoire and bring all the sides to
the table again.”
Cote d' Iviore, is Ghana’s western neighbour and is the
world's leading cocoa producer, has been stuck in a
political crisis since 2003 with over 800 soldiers
controlling the northern parts of the country with President
Gbagbo controlling the South.
President Gbagbo promised journalists at the Kotoka
International Airport just before he left for home that he
would be returning signalling perhaps a more detailed and
expanded meeting sometime in the future, stressing that
countries having problems on the continent would be calling
on President Kufuor him to discuss solutions to them, since
he is the current AU Chair.
