President Nana Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is
\nexpected to commence his annual leave on Thursday.<\/p>\n

A statement from the presidency signed by
\nEugene Arhin, Director of Communications, said the President, who is currently
\nin France to begin a three-day official visit at the invitation of French
\nPresident Emmanuel Macron, would leave that country on Thursday, July 11.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo left Ghana last Saturday
\nto attend the 12th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the Africa Union
\n(AU) held in Niamey, the capital of Niger.<\/p>\n

The AU used the summit to officially launch the
\noperational phase of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), after it
\nachieved maturity on 30th May, 2019, when the 22nd member-state deposited its
\ninstrument of ratification at the AU Commission headquarters in Addis Ababa,
\nEthiopia. <\/p>\n

The Union then settled on Ghana as the host
\ncountry for the Secretariat of the AfCFTA after beating competition from countries
\nsuch as Egypt, Ethiopia, Eswatini, Kenya, Senegal and Madagascar.<\/p>\n

According to the communication from the
\npresidency, the President\u2019s leave of absence takes effect from Thursday, July
\n11, 2019 to July 18, 2018, when he is expected back home in Ghana to resume
\nofficial duties.<\/p>\n

The statement said while in France, President
\nAkufo-Addo is expected to meet members of the Ghanaian community in that
\ncountry and deliver an address at the France-Ghana Business Forum.<\/p>\n

He is later scheduled to visit the Port of
\nMarseille and hold meetings with French multinational companies such as Total
\nand Soci\u00e9t\u00e9G\u00e9n\u00e9rale. <\/p>\n

The President, according to the statement, was
\naccompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration,
\nShirley Ayorkor Botchwey; Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen;
\nChief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Yofi Grant;
\nand officials from the presidency and foreign ministry.<\/p>\n

Vice-President Bawumia is expected to act as President in his absence in accordance with Article 60(8) of the Constitution.<\/p>\n
