Harris in Ghana to 'strengthen' relationship with African

US Vice President Kamala Harris met with Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday, bringing an aid package to shore up security, economic and development cooperation as part of a three-nation African tour.

After a brief meeting, Harris said that the visit would strengthen ties and opportunities with historic partner Ghana. Earlier on Monday, Harris' office said the US would provide Ghana with 139 million USD in bilateral assistance next year, including for economic, business and culture initiatives, and for the health sector such as an anti-malaria programme.
