Official statement from the Office of the President indicated that he will also attend the 26th Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations in Kigali, Rwanda.
President Akufo-Addo was one of 11 leaders billed to speak at the opening ceremony of the European Development Days Forum.
