Why Obama invited Mills

The President met President Mills in July 2009 and welcomes the opportunity to reciprocate the warm hospitality that both he and the First Lady received during their visit to Ghana.

The two Leaders will have the opportunity to discuss our shared objectives in advancing development, as well as the commercial and economic ties between our two countries.

President Obama looks forward to discussing cooperation on a host of other bilateral, regional, and multilateral issues, and deepening our bilateral partnership.
