German MPs to visit Ghana

Accra (Greater Accra), 30th June 99 -

 

A group of six members of the German Bundestag, the German Lower House of Parliament, begins a four-day visit to Ghana on July three to gather information on issues of common interest on immigration and fighting drug-related crimes.

A statement issued in Accra on Tuesday said the group led by Mr Peter Enders would meet President Jerry Rawlings, the Minister of the Interior, Nii Okaija Adamafio and members of parliament.

The Ghana visit is part of a three-nation West African tour that will also take them to Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal.

The statement said this is the first high-ranking visit of German MPs since 1996 and emphasises once more the excellent relations between the two countries.
