The UK-Africa Investment Summit, being hosted by British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, on January 20 will bring together “businesses, governments and international institutions to showcase and promote the breadth and quality of investment opportunities across Africa”.
Whilst in the UK, President Akufo-Addo will on January 21 deliver the keynote address at the Ghana Investment Opportunities Summit – a summit which aims to bring delegates, especially from the United Kingdom, to explore investment opportunities in Ghana.
