Information Minister Mahama Ayariga said in a statement,
“President Ahmadinejad will arrive on Tuesday 16 April to hold discussions with
President John Mahama on strengthening the NAM and also co-chair a bilateral
meeting between the two countries.”
The visit is part of a three-nation tour of West Africa during
which the Iranian premier is also visiting Benin and Niger, one of Africa's
biggest uranium producers.
Former minister of trade and industry Alan Kyeremanteng has
lost out in his bid to lead the WTO after failing to make it through the first
round of the selection process.
Kenya's Amina Mohamed, the other African candidate, has also
left the race. Jordan's Ahmed Hindawi, the first candidate from an Arab nation
in the WTO's 18-year history was the third candidate not to make it through to
the second round.
Five candidates remain in the running: Mexico's Herminio
Blanco, Brazil's Roberto Azevedo, New Zealand's Tim Groser, South Korea's Taeho
Bark and Indonesia's Mari Pangestu, the only woman still under consideration.
