President John Agyekum Kufuor on Thursday, made a stopover in Kumasi on his way from Yamoussoukro, Cote D'Ivoire after addressing the inaugural ceremony of that country's Government of National Reconciliation.

The Presidential Jet had to return to Kumasi due to poor weather and heavy rains in Accra. President Kufuor and his entourage that included Mr Hackman Owusu-Agyeman, out-going Foreign Minister, the in-coming Foreign Minister, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Daniel Kufuor Osei, Private Secretary to the President, Dr Mohammed Ibn Chambas, Executive Secretary of ECOWAS and the Ivorian Ambassador in Ghana, Emmanuel Tannon, stayed in Kumasi for about three hours.
