President John Mahama will leave Accra on Thursday night to attend a meeting of Heads of State of countries along the Gulf of Guinea in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
The meeting is being convened by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and will focus on maritime security along the Gulf of Guinea.
President Mahama who has been discussing the strengthening of the maritime borders with his colleagues in Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, is expected to make some strong interventions at the Summit.
Ghana has over the last three years upgraded the equipment stock of the Ghana Navy and recently established a Police Marine Unit with a view to check piracy and also protect the country’s oil installations and maritime boundaries.
President Mahama will return home on Saturday, August 10.
