President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has congratulated his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, following his re-election over the weekend.
Macron beat the far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen to win a second term as president of France, becoming the first French leader in 20 years to win re-election.
He won by 58.55% of the vote to 41.45%, a greater margin than expected.
Akufo-Addo has assured Macron of Ghana’s co-operation and friendship as he prepares to discharge his duties for another five years.
“Warm congratulations to His Excellency Emmanuel Macron on his historic re-election, for a second term, as president of the French Republic,” the Ghanaian leader posted on Facebook.
“I wish him well in the discharge of his mandate, and in the crucial tasks of uniting the French nation and helping to weather the buffeting storms confronting Europe and the world.”
Akufo-Addo added: “I am confident that the future of the French people is secure in his hands. I assure him of my and Ghana’s co-operation and continuing friendship.”
