Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on arrival in Washington DC. He was received by Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to the US, Prof. Baffour Adjei Bawuah (right)<\/strong><\/p>\n

THERE WAS mad rush by scores of people who wanted to catch a glimpse
\nof the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who is currently in the United States
\nof America (USA).<\/p>\n

News of the Asante Monarch\u2019s visit to the US had spread like wild fire,
\nand so even before the king arrived in Washington DC on Saturday, there were a
\nnumber of people waiting to welcome him.<\/p>\n

At the airport to welcome the 16th Asante king were Ghana\u2019s
\nAmbassador to the US, Prof. Baffuor Adjei-Bawuah, and other dignitaries working
\nin Ghana\u2019s embassy in the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Also at the airport to meet Otumfuo were some traditional leaders in
\nGhana and the US, including Nana Kusi Boadum, Chief of Domeabra, and Nana Asuah
\nAmoako II, Fumesuahene.<\/p>\n

Some Americans were also at the airport to give the king a rousing
\nwelcome.<\/p>\n

Reports monitored by the DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> indicated that most of
\nthe people at the airport were extremely excited to see Otumfuo. <\/p>\n

Otumfuo\u2019s Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Asantehene is in the US at the invitation of the United Nations
\n(UN). He is billed to address the UN General Assembly\u2019s High Level Forum on
\nSeptember 13, 2019, on the topic of culture and peace.<\/p>\n

It is a known fact that Otumfuo during his two decades reign has
\nsuccessfully combined culture, tradition and modernity to promote peace and
\nunity in the Ashanti Kingdom and Ghana in general.<\/p>\n

Otumfuo\u2019s historic address would, therefore, highlight mainly on his
\nunique policies and strategies that have contributed to make his kingdom
\none-of-a-kind, especially in the era of advancement and modernisation.<\/p>\n

The forum would mark the 25th anniversary of the \u2018Adoption of the
\nDeclaration and Programme of Action in New York and the African Union\u2019 in
\nWashington DC. The world media would capture the event.<\/p>\n

Otumfuo has, in the past, been invited to international programmes
\nto deliver similar addresses. He has also been given honorary doctorate awards
\nby top universities across the globe for his splendid leadership.<\/p>\n
