Accra, April 10, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor on
Tuesday granted audience to a Special Envoy of his Algerian
counterpart, President Abdulaziz Bouteflika, to deliver a
message, at the Castle, Osu.
The content of the message was not disclosed but was

Ghana and Algeria.

of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, conveyed the Algerian
leader's appreciation to President Kufuor for his
participation and contributions during the recent NEPAD
brainstorming summit held in Algiers.

support and that of his other colleague Heads of State was
vital for the successful integration of NEPAD into the AU
structure.

continuing working with him on that.
Responding, President Kufuor said the summit was a good one
and that NEPAD should find its rightful position within the
AU.

attend the July AU summit in Accra and bring his
immeasurable influence to bear on the direction of the
Union.

working towards realising the Union of African States.

Akufo-Addo.
