PM Fiala begins visit to Ghana

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala began his visit to Ghana on Wednesday, the third stop on his tour of sub-Saharan Africa. Mr. Fiala left for the Ghanaian capital Accra in the morning from the Kenyan capital Nairobi.

The Prime Minister, who is accompanied by a large business delegation, was originally scheduled to spend the day in Nigeria, but the Nigerian government cancelled the visit at the last minute, citing inability to provide "adequate reception".

The main part of the Prime Minister's programme in Ghana is scheduled for Thursday, when he will be received by Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo. Mr. Fiala will also launch the Czech-Ghana Business Forum and is expected to meet with members of the MEDEVAC mission.
