Boris Johnson meets with President of Ghana
He described his talks today in Ghana with President Nana Akufo-Addo who was sworn in last month after elections in December, and his team, as "really positive.
"They are truly dedicated to improving the lives of the people of Ghana and we are proud to help them.
So once again that's another queue that Global Britain is at the front of
"Plus, they also want to do more trade with us. So once again that's another queue that Global Britain is at the front of," said Mr Johnson in a Facebook post.
He previously became the first serving UK Foreign Secretary to visit The Gambia.
He met former north London Argos security guard Adama Barrow, who was elected president in December and took office last month after predecessor Yahya Jammeh finally agreed to step down having initially fought the result.
Their meeting confirmed that The Gambia will move to rejoin the Commonwealth, which President Jammeh - who took power in a 1994 coup - left in 2013 on grounds it was a "neo-colonial institution".
