Government urged to establish new deal in international
relations
Sunyani (B/A), July 9, Ghanadot/GNA
– Government has been asked to consider the visit of U.S
President Barrack Obama to Ghana as an opportunity to open
channels of co-operation to establish a new deal in
international relations.
Dr. S. A. Manson, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for
Dormaa in the Busia and Limann regimes, who made the call,
said the visit would renew the old bondage of the
African-American symbolic relationship with Ghana.
These were contained in a statement signed by the former MP,
made available to GNA in Sunyani on Wednesday.
Dr. Manson said “Ghana and the U.S should work together as
brothers to support each other in all endeavours. What is
required now is to establish a sound basis of goodwill that
can lead to greater achievements. Obama is our own and he
should be made to count on us in his desire to succeed”.
He noted that the election of Obama as the first
African-American President of the U.S indicated that
Americans had removed the stumbling blocks of
discrimination, hatred and disharmony spurred by racial
consideration.
Dr Manson said: “Now Americans have shown the way of
positive race relation and this should be emulated by the
rest of the world, especially Africans who are destroying
their beautiful continent with inter-ethnic wars and
conflicts”.
