Trade Minister pushes for stronger Ghana-Guinea trade and industrial ties
The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has called for stronger economic cooperation between Ghana and Guinea to expand bilateral trade, promote industrial development and boost tourism.
Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Ghana's Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, has called for enhanced economic collaboration between Ghana and Guinea. She made this plea during a meeting with Guinea's Minister for Trade, Industry and Enterprise, Aboubacar Kourocuma. This meeting took place on the sidelines of the signing ceremony for the Accra Convention and the UNCITRAL at 60 Symposium in Accra.
Ms Ofosu-Adjare suggested a joint project to renovate and safeguard the former residence of Ghana’s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, in Guinea. This project aims to transform the site into a historical and cultural tourism attraction. She also committed to assist in aligning standards between Ghana Standards Authority and Guinea’s standards and metrology institution. This harmonization of standards is expected to ease trade barriers and support the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Mr Kourocuma appreciated the renewed dedication to cooperation. He highlighted that agreeing standards would make it simpler for businesses in both nations to trade across borders, thereby strengthening their trade relations.
