Chatham Award For Kufuor

The President, Mr J. A. Kufuor, added to his badge of honours when

he became the proud recipient of this year's Chatham House Prize at

a magnificent ceremony at the Drapers Hall in the City of London

last night.

To the delight of an august audience, including the Asantehene,

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, President Kufuor was presented with a crystal

award by the Duke of Edinburgh and a scroll signed by Her Majesty The

Queen.

The colourful ceremony, attended by corporate members and a large

number of dignitaries from Britain and Ghana, also had a touch of

Ghanaian culture and folklore, as well as tradition, amidst which

President Kufuor was eulogised for his contribution to peace and

economic growth in Ghana, as well as the stability of Africa.
