Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has engaged the US government over "the much talked about impending US visa ban".

On Facebook, he indicated he was "warmly hosted at the US State Department earlier today by Under Secretary for Political Affairs, Allison M. Hooker and Ambassador Troy Damian Fitrell of the Bureau for African Affairs".

"We had great discussions on a wide range of Ghana-US bilateral cooperation," he said.

Ablakwa assured, "President Mahama’s government is determined to take all necessary and strategic steps consistent with our national interest in ensuring that Ghana is not affected by the much talked about impending US visa ban. 

"We expect a positive outcome for Ghana and the strengthening of Ghana USA relations."

"For God and Country," he concluded.
