The President said there have been numerous strides in women empowerment over the past decades but cautioned that more must be done to achieve gender parity in political and economic leadership. She said although women should partner with men in promoting women to ascend to all areas of leadership, the core responsibility rests with women themselves. Also speaking, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo noted progress made in gender parity in leadership but urged that more practical measures must be employed to gain more. The Ghanaian leader commended President Sirleaf for the exemplary leadership she has provided not only to Liberia but to Africa and the world over the years. Earlier, upon arrival in Accra, Presidents Sirleaf and Akufo-Addo held a tete à tete during which several current issues of bilateral and regional interest were discussed.
