Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Ghana for the start of a weeklong visit to Africa intended to deepen U.S. relationships amid global competition over the continent’s future.
A country of 34 million people that’s slightly smaller than Oregon, Ghana is also wary of threats from instability in the region. Burkina Faso and Mali have each endured two coups in recent years, and local offshoots of Al Qaeda and Islamic State operate in the area known as the Sahel, which is north of Ghana. Thousands of people have been killed and millions more have been displaced.
The economic and security challenges will probably be discussed on Monday when Harris meets with Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo. They also are expected to hold a joint news conference.
Most of Harris’ events in Ghana will focus on young people. Africa’s population has a median age of 19. Before leaving for Tanzania on Wednesday, Harris will meet with women entrepreneurs and Emhoff will tour a chocolate company that was founded by two sisters. The name of the company, ’57 Chocolate, is a reference to when Ghana became independent.
