Ghana is set to host a consultative conference on security and other related challenges affecting West Africa from Thursday to Friday.
The High-Level Consultative Conference on Regional Cooperation and Security will be held under the auspices of President John Dramani Mahama in Accra.
The Conference will convene senior officials and Ministers and then culminate in a Summit of participating Heads of State and Government from the region.
“The Consultative Conference would discuss security and other related challenges affecting the region, including terrorism, violent extremism, transnational organised crime and maritime insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea.”
It will provide a platform for the leaders to have consultations on the security and humanitarian situation in the region; review existing initiatives on peace, security and governance; and discuss practical and sustainable frameworks for enhanced regional cooperation.
The Consultative Conference also aims at renewing coordinated regional approaches and strengthening collaboration through sustainable platforms for a peaceful, stable and prosperous region.
The Government of Ghana envisions the Consultative Conference as an important measure to renew regional solidarity, foster collective responsibility and build a resilient and secure region, through practical interventions aimed at enhancing stability, protecting citizens and promoting sustainable development within the region.
