"At the end of the elections, we shall be proud of ourselves, Africa will have good cause to be proud of us, and the rest of the world will find lessons to learn from us,” Akufo-Addo said.

The President also called on the world body to restructure its global financing architecture to benefit developing countries in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He urged the United Nations to support efforts by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to resolve the political crisis in Mali.
