Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has met with Ghanaians living in Benin to discuss their challenges.
The meeting was part of an initiative launched by the Minister to have direct contact with Ghanaians living abroad.
A statement issued by the minister and copied to the Ghana News Agency, Accra on Thursday said, over 2000 Ghanaians living in Benin expressed concerns about alleged non-recognition of Ghanaian consular identity cards, travel and trade barriers, acquisition of the Ghana card, and lack of support for stranded travelers.
It said they also complained about alleged security harassment, particularly when carting goods to Ghana via road.
