Kufuor makes first trip to Togo

Ghana's President John Agyekum Kufuor will make a return trip to Lome, Togo, on Saturday at the invitation of his Togolese counterpart, Gnassingbe Eyadema, to attend celebrations marking the 34th anniversary of the coup that brought the Togolese leader to power.

Saturday's trip by President Kufuor will be his first foreign travel since he assumed the Ghanaian presidency six days ago, Ms Elizabeth Ohene, Public Affairs Advisor to the President, confirmed to the Ghana News Agency in Accra. "All I know is that the President will return same day," she said.

President Eyadema was among four African Heads of State who attended Mr Kufuor's inauguration as Ghana's sixth elected president.
