After the meeting, Kan-Dapaah spoke to the media and said that the two nations “reviewed the strong cooperation between them and clarified to their mutual satisfaction recent reported discussions between Ghana and the United States with regard to the needed partnerships for sustainable peace in the region.”

He claimed that both nations have reiterated their commitment to working together in the fight against terrorism, and he welcomed the Accra Initiative’s early operationalization to help Burkina Faso beat the terrorists who have caused the country’s people immense suffering.

In that regard, he continued, “we addressed the specific support Ghana has pushed for Burkina Faso in the Accra Initiative and ECOWAS and urged on West African states to move swiftly on the topic.

The two nations also emphasized the significance of helping vulnerable communities become resilient and providing assistance to people who have been uprooted or lost their livelihoods, and they urged for sincere cooperation with the international community in these areas.

Burkina Faso and Ghana agreed to conduct talks more frequently.

Earlier, a retinue of religious and traditional elders welcomed Kan-Dapaah and his delegation. They resolved to look into the prospect of regular visitor exchanges with their counterparts in Ghana after affirming the shared histories and cultures of Burkina Faso and Ghana.
