Akufo-Addo Decorates Ouattara With Highest State Award
Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has decorated Ivorian
President Alassane Ouattara with the highest state honour, The
Companion of the Star of Ghana – Honorary Division.
The award was presented to the President Ouattara during a State
dinner at the International Conference Centre in Accra Monday evening.
The Ivorian President arrived in Ghana on Monday for a two-day state visit.
The Order of the Star of Ghana is the highest award given by the
Government of Ghana to any individual who had helped the cause of the
country in one way or the other.
Addressing attendees at the State dinner, Mr. Akufo-Addo said both
Ghana and Ivory Coast will coordinate in the Cocoa sector to ensure that
the two countries who are responsible for the production of 65% of the
world’s cocoa, reap higher benefits from the sector than what both
currently enjoy.
“Being the two largest producers of cocoa, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire
have begun to cooperate to ensure that we do not continue to be victims
of a global cocoa industry that is dependent on the work of our
farmers,” the President said.
