She also met with former president John Agyekum Kufuor.
“The primary purpose of my visit is that we will be launching, along with President Nana Akufo-Addo, a very important initiative this afternoon, and this initiative will be across the continent, because we are going to start again to build the human capital, the youth of the continent, and empower them with the skills and opportunities that this continent needs,” she told the media shortly after her arrival in Ghana.

Gurb said the initiative is important because “Africa, as we know, is one of the continents which is getting younger, and I firmly believe the future of this continent rests with the human capital and the talent of our young people”.
“The other reason for my coming, of course, is that my country is keen on establishing stronger bilateral relations with Ghana,” she said.
Last year, Ghana and Mauritius agreed to waive visa requirements for holders of each other’s national passports.
The agreement allows all Ghanaians, including holders of ordinary Ghanaian passports to enter into Mauritius without any visa restrictions. The same courtesies will be extended to Mauritius nationals coming to Ghana.
