The President, Mr J. A. Kufuor, added to his badge of honours when
he became the proud recipient of this year's Chatham House Prize at
a magnificent ceremony at the Drapers Hall in the City of London
last night.

To the delight of an august audience, including the Asantehene,
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, President Kufuor was presented with a crystal
award by the Duke of Edinburgh and a scroll signed by Her Majesty The
Queen.

The colourful ceremony, attended by corporate members and a large
number of dignitaries from Britain and Ghana, also had a touch of
Ghanaian culture and folklore, as well as tradition, amidst which
President Kufuor was eulogised for his contribution to peace and
economic growth in Ghana, as well as the stability of Africa.
