Turkey’s state-run aid agency on Sunday distributed food to needy families in Ghana, a West African country.

The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) delivered 1,000 packages to institutions and organizations in the country.

Turkey’s Ambassador in Accra Ozlem Ergun Ulueren told Anadolu Agency that the humanitarian diplomacy is an important element in Turkey's foreign policy.
