The French Minister of State in-charge of Government Affairs, Michel Sapin, arrived in Accra on Wednesday night for a two-day official visit.

Mr. Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Minister of Presidential Affairs, and the French Ambassador in Ghana, Mr. Jean Berrit met him on arrival.

Whilst in the country, Mr. Sapin will hold discussions with the Vice-President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama and some ministers of state.
