PM Modi greeted with 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' chants as he begins his Ghana visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was greeted with the devotional chants of 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' by Ghanaian children as he arrived in Ghana on Wednesday evening. He is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the country in 30 years. PM Modi was welcomed in Ghana by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama upon his arrival in the country.

Upon his arrival, PM Modi received a Guard of Honour and a 21‑gun tribute too. The Prime Minister's visit on July 2–3 comes after the invitation of Ghana’s President Mahama.

It’s the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Ghana in three decades. "I look forward to my exchanges aimed at further deepening our historical ties and opening up new windows of cooperation, including in the areas of investment, energy, health, security, capacity building and development partnership. As fellow democracies, it will be an honour to speak at the Parliament of Ghana," MEA said in a statement.
