President Bio Visits Ghana to Express Solidarity Following Catastrophic Flooding

President Julius Maada Bio arrived in Accra on Friday for a brief diplomatic visit to meet with Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, following the recent catastrophic natural disasters that have struck the country.

During the bilateral meeting, President Bio conveyed the profound sympathies of the government and people of Sierra Leone to those affected by the torrential rains and severe flooding that have heavily impacted Accra.
