A 41-member delegation of the Moronou Regional Staff Mutual (MUPREM) from Côte d'Ivoire was warmly hosted at a dinner party at the residence of the Mayor of Kumasi on Friday, August 28, 2026.

 

The Ivorian delegation, who were officially introduced to the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) by their Embassy to Ghana, is on a tour of Ghana to, among other things, exchange cultures and fraternize with their Ghanaian counterparts in the sub-region.

Opening the dinner reception, the Mayor of Kumasi, Hon. Richard Ofori Agyeman Boadi, welcomed his guests, describing their visit as an important opportunity to share the cultural, social, and economic values of the two perennial sister countries.

He highlighted the strong bilateral relations between the two countries that have lasted for many decades, urging them to uphold and maintain it for future generations.

He noted that Kumasi has been a business hub for many Ivorians, just as parts of Côte d'Ivoire serve as a commercial centre for Ghanaians in trade and commerce.

The delegation, led by Sir Yao Christian, was individually presented with customised kente mufflers and danced joyfully when they were treated to their native melodies.

The leader of the delegation expressed gratitude for the warm reception, expressing hope to maintain the bilateral ties between the two countries.
