A press release issued by the UK government said Rt Hon Lancaster’s visit which started from August 26th to 28th, 2019 is reflective of the strong and enduring partnership Ghana and the UK share.
The release said it reaffirms the UK-Ghana defense relationship, whilst reinforcing the UK’s strong commitment to Ghana at a time when heightened region security tensions are presenting challenges.
“In Ghana, the RT Hon Mark Lancaster will meet with H.E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia the Vice President of Ghana, where they will reaffirm their long enduring partnership, and discuss the growing regional security threats Ghana faces from the changing dynamics to its north and from piracy, illegal smuggling and fishing in the Gulf of Guinea,” the release said.
