Brazilian President arrives on Saturday
Accra, April 18, Ghanadot/GNA - Brazilian
President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will arrive in Accra
on Saturday for a three-day official visit to Ghana.
A statement signed by Mr. Andrew Awuni, Press Secretary to
the President and Presidential Spokesman on Friday, said
President Luiz da Silva would hold bilateral talks with
President Kufuor at the Castle, Osu.
They will also jointly perform the commissioning of EMBRAPA
Regional Office for Africa at the Council for Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR) Head Office in Accra.
The Brazilian President's visit coincides with the opening
of the Twelfth Session of United Nations Conference for
Trade and Development (UNCTAD XII), which will also be
attended by eight other Heads of State as well as the Crown
Princess of Thailand.
President Luiz da Silva paid a state visit to Ghana in 2005
and President Kufuor reciprocated with a state visit to
Brazil in 2006.
It is expected that this visit of the Brazilian President
will further strengthen the already cordial relations that
exist between the two countries, the statement said.
