Princess Anne, the daughter of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has paid a call on President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House in Accra.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Akufo-Addo said he and Princess Anne discussed ways to strengthen relationship between Ghana and the UK and also improve access to education for children in Ghana.
Princess Anne's meeting with Akufo-Addo marked the start of her two-day official visit to Ghana - a trip meant to celebrate Ghana's 60th anniversary celebration.
She is also set to meet with the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
A statement from British High Commission in Ghana said the visit which is Princess Anne’s third to Ghana, will “celebrate the unique friendship between the UK and Ghana, as it commemorates its 60th Anniversary of independence.â€
The statement added that, “it will also reinforce the strength and depth of our bilateral relations. Ghana is marking its 60th Anniversary with themes of reflection, celebration, challenge and togetherness. Its partnership with the UK embodies just that – built on deep social and cultural ties and a shared future."
Princess Anne will also undertake a  wide-ranging programme that builds on her previous visits in 1998 and 2011, which according to the statement focuses on empowering women who act as role models for others, exploring the importance of support for girls, female education and entrepreneurs in delivering Ghana’s future.
She will also meet with a number of UK volunteers including the alumni of UK sponsored scholarship programmes, Chevening, Commonwealth and the Queens Young Leaders.
