The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to make a slight correction relating to a press release issued on Friday, February 10, 2017 under the caption: President Sirleaf Invited to Serve as Guest of Honor at Ghana 60^th Independence Anniversary.

According to a Foreign Ministry release, the Ghanaian Ambassador to Liberia, His Excellency Mr. Kodjo Asimeng Wadee, who will also be observing his country’s historic sexagenarian anniversary at a reception here in Monrovia, saw it befitting to extend an official invitation to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who is also Chair of the ECOWAS Authority to serve as their ‘Guest of Honor’.

Invitations were also extended to Vice President Joseph N. Boakai, Foreign Minister Marjon Kamara and senior Foreign Ministry officials to attend the celebrations here in Monrovia and not Accra, Ghana as perceived.

The invitations were hand delivered to Foreign Minister Kamara when the Ghanaian Ambassador paid her a courtesy call on Thursday, February 9, 2017.

We hope this clears the air.
