Dr. Bawumia also used the occasion to congratulate Sheikh Mohammed on his assumption of office as the new President of the UAE.
Ghana and the UAE enjoy great relationship and the meeting also discussed strengthening ties and cooperation between the two countries.
Present at the meeting were Dubai Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Ghana's delegation included Deputy Chief of Staff, Fawaz Aliu, Ghana's Ambassador to the UAE Alhaji Ahmed Ramadan and Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, Kweku Ampratwum Sarpong.
