"I am looking forward to further developing the strong U.S.-Ghana partnership."

"Ghana's election demonstrated the Ghanaian people's commitment to democratic governance."

"We're starting to see progress. And if we stick with it, if we don't crunch in the face of some difficulties, then I feel absolutely convinced that we are going to get this economy back on track."
