King Mohammed VI of Morocco has arrived in Accra to begin a three-day official visit to Ghana, the Flagstaff House said in a statement on Thursday.

The visit, which is aimed at deepening the existing cordial relations between Ghana and Morocco, will also present the two countries with an opportunity to define new areas of cooperation that would serve their mutual interests.

President Nana Akufo-Addo will hold bilateral talks with the King on Friday before hosting him to an official launch at the presidency, said the statement signed by Eugene Arhin, the acting director of communications at the presidency.

The Moroccan King was originally billed to visit the west African country last month but it was postponed.

Morocco, some  few days ago was was accepted into the African Union, a move considered to help the Kingdom to keep up its commitment to Africa and strengthen its involvement in all matters it feels strongly about.

Late last year, Morocco's Ambassador to Ghana affirmed the country's stance on African membership, saying Morocco never left Africa, even when it was no longer a member of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).
