Kufuor returns from Mali

Accra, Dec. 4, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor returned home Sunday after attending the 23rd French-African summit in Bamako Mali. Nana Addo Dankwa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who accompanied the President told journalist at the airport that the two-day summit was under the theme: "The Creativity of the Youth of Africa". It was attended by several African Heads of State, including those of Togo, South Africa, Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
