President Akufo-Addo says the international order is under threat as a result of the destabilizing actions being carried out by terrorist groups all over the world.
He said the unsettling uncertainty of where the next attack would come, the number of lives to be disrupted, lost or displaced, the annexing of national territories, and the wrecking of economies, are repercussions of this fight, except that this war has no fixed boundaries, neither has it an end date.
In a facebook post, President Akufo-Addo said over the course of the past few years, there have been a number of initiatives and advancement at the global and regional levels to combat terrorism and violent extremism.
He said it has been proven that through combined efforts, leaders are able to co-operate with one another in order to combat the threat posed by terrorism in all of its guises and manifestations, regardless of its motivation or origin.
