The United States has congratulated Ghana on the country’s 69th anniversary of independence, reaffirming what it described as a strong bilateral partnership between the two nations.
In a statement marking Ghana’s National Day, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio extended congratulations to the Ghanaian people and highlighted cooperation between the two countries on key priorities.
“On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to the people of Ghana on your country’s 69th year of independence,” Rubio said.
He said Ghana remains an important partner for the United States on economic, security and regional issues.
Rubio added that Washington looked forward to strengthening long-standing bilateral and cultural ties with Accra in a bid to enhance prosperity for both nations.
Ghana, one of West Africa’s most stable democracies, gained independence from Britain on 6 March 1957, becoming the first sub-Saharan African country to do so.
The United States and Ghana maintain close diplomatic and economic relations, cooperating in areas including security, trade and development initiatives across the region.
