President Akufo-Addo will have the opportunity later in the afternoon to visit a few sites around Monrovia before being treated to a State Dinner in the evening.
On Saturday, President Akufa-Addo will hold a series of meetings including one with the African diplomatic corps, and the Ghanaian community in Liberia before departing the country later in the evening.
The Ghanaian President will be accompanied to Liberia by his Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Mrs. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, among others; while former Ghanaian Ambassador to Liberia, H.E. Kodjo Asimeng Wadee forms part of his advance team.
The two-day official Visit is part of President Akufo-Addo's sub-regional tour since his inauguration as the fifth president of Ghana's fourth Republic (since 1993).
