President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Banjul, The Gambia, as part of a diplomatic tour to The Gambia and Senegal aimed at strengthening Ghana's ties with its West African neighbours.

The visit serves as a gesture of gratitude to the leaders of both countries for attending Ghana's presidential inauguration on January 7.

President Mahama's meetings with his counterparts also emphasize his commitment to reinforcing regional cooperation and diplomatic relations within the sub-region.

After concluding his engagements in The Gambia, President Mahama will continue his tour in Senegal before returning to Ghana later today, Friday, January 17.
