Ghana and the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to deepening cooperation in trade, security, health, and education at a reception in Accra to mark the 249th Independence Day of the United States of America.
The event brought together government officials, diplomats, business leaders, and members of civil society to celebrate the longstanding partnership between the two countries and highlight shared values of democracy, good governance, and mutual respect.
The 4th of July, or Independence Day, marks the day that the Second Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Since then, American Independence Day has been celebrated with fireworks, parades, and concerts.
