The Secretary-General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Wamkele Mene, on Friday, 17th January 2025, paid a courtesy call on former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The visit, according to Mr. Mene, was to express his sincere appreciation to Dr. Bawumia for the support extended to the AfCFTA Secretariat during his tenure as Vice President.
“Your Excellency, I am here today to express my sincere gratitude for the support you extended to the AfCFTA Secretariat during your tenure as the Vice President of the Republic,” he indicated.
The discussions also touched on the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol, particularly on Cross-Border Digital Payments.
The Secretary-General seized the opportunity to commend Dr. Bawumia on his remarkable concession during the recently held presidential and parliamentary elections.
“Ghana’s democratic credentials were further strengthened when you conceded defeat less than 24 hours after the presidential elections. You have indeed shown that you love your country and its people,” he lauded Dr. Bawumia.
The AfCFTA also used the occasion to encourage Dr. Bawumia not to stop giving his best in ensuring that the country moves forward.
