President Akufo-Addo interacting with Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, after the meeting at Jubilee House<\/strong><\/p>\nSpeaker of the United States (US) Congress
\n(Parliament), Nancy Pelosi, has commended Ghana\u2019s contribution towards global
\npeace and security.<\/p>\n
She gave the commendation when she called on
\nPresident Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House as part of her
\nthree-day visit to the country.<\/p>\n
While on their way to Ghana, Pelosi narrated
\nthat they met a military that complimented Ghana on its role in global security
\nwhich she thought was a plus for the country.<\/p>\n
She believes it is one of the best ways the
\ncountry can continue to contribute to the sustenance of world peace in these
\ntimes of global insecurity. \u201cMilitarily, politically culturally and every way,
\nwe salute Ghana,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The Speaker also applauded the efforts of the
\nmany Ghanaian-Americans which she considered a blessing.<\/p>\n
Democratic Party Congressman and Chair of the
\nBlack Caucus, Jim Clyburn, who was part of the delegation, said \u201cour mission
\ntoday is very simple; it is to ensure that we interact in a way that will make
\nyour future and ours one of trade rather than aid.\u201d<\/p>\n
The President was delighted in the fact that it
\nwas the first time a Speaker of the US Congress had visited Ghana, and was
\nproud that she is the first woman to occupy that position as in the case of his
\nChief of Staff, Frema Osei-Opare, the first woman to be appointed to that
\noffice in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see this year as a year when we can renew
\nthe relations with the United States and at the same time make some comments
\nabout the position of black people in the world about what has happened with
\nrelations between our two countries over these last 400 years; it\u2019s our
\ndetermination never to get into that situation again, and as well as use the
\noccasion to be able to welcome those who were taken from our shores to make
\nlife elsewhere and back to Ghana and that\u2019s the real purpose of this Year of Return,\u201d
\nthe President said.<\/p>\n
The President described the visit of the
\nleadership black caucus of the US Congress as \u2018reassuring\u2019, saying \u201cthe work
\nthat they do within the American political system is something that we all
\nfollow with great keenness; we see the efforts that they do to position black
\npeople in America as the right perspective and to fight for their rights and
\ninterests; it\u2019s an honour for us to have so many of the leaders with these
\nnames we\u2019ve heard of, the latest being our sister from Somalia who has become
\nembroiled in a major controversy in your country.\u201d<\/p>\n
He recalled last year\u2019s visit to Ghana by US
\nFirst lady, Melania Trump, Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross and the Governor
\nof Nevada, Brian Sandavol and other high-profile visits.<\/p>\n
We pride ourselves on being a functioning
\ndemocracy in Ghana;\u2026today since the establishment of the Fourth Republic, the
\nGhanaian people have committed themselves fully to a future of democratic
\nengagement and other principles of democratic accountability, respect for human
\nrights; the rule of law is now central in our body politic,\u201d the President stressed.<\/p>\n
He reiterated that Africa needed a new and a more progressive agenda of investment and not necessarily aid.<\/p>\n
