President John Dramani Mahama will travel at the weekend to three Sahelian countries-Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
A source at the seat of government told the Ghana News Agency that the President would visit Bamako, Mali, on Saturday, March 9, Niamey, Niger, on Sunday, March 10, and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on a later date.
The source said the visit was part of President Mahama's ongoing efforts to strengthen Ghana's good-neighborliness policy. "The visit to the three Sahel countries, which are currently at odds with ECOWAS, is significant, as it will contribute to efforts to reconcile the three nations with the regional bloc," the source added.
