The US Embassy in Accra on July 4 held a ceremony to mark the 248th Independence Day of the country.
It was attended by government officials, diplomats, politicians, traditional and business leaders.
The short but impressive ceremony created a platform for the guests to mingle and network while they enjoyed soothing music and some fireworks.
In her remarks, the US Ambassador to Ghana, Ms Virginia Palmer, lauded the progress Ghana and the United States have made so far in their democratic journeys.
However, she said there were still challenges to be addressed by the two countries, both heading to the polls this year.
For his part, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr Godfred Odame, noted the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries, highlighting their shared commitment to democracy, human rights, and good governance.
He acknowledged the US support through initiatives in Ghana, including substantial investments in health, education, and security sectors.
