Let’s build stronger
economic bond - Chireh
Accra, March 18, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr Joseph Yieleh Chireh,
Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, on Wednesday
called for a stronger economic and cultural bond between Ghana
and Senegal to ensure maximum development benefits.
“We in the ECOWAS region need to do much more than we are doing
in terms of trade and other areas,” he said when the Senegalese
Ambassador of Ghana, Mr Balla Mandaw Dia, called on him in
Accra.
The visit was to announce the re-opening of the Embassy in Ghana
after a two-year closure and also work towards strengthening
bilateral relations between the two countries.
Mr Chireh said Ghana played a key role in African affairs and
therefore needed to strengthen ties with other countries to
develop good socio-political structures as a growing and
developing continent.
Mr Dia lauded Ghana’s achievement in the area of good governance
and democratic development saying “Ghana has reached a high
level of democracy”.
He said intensifying relationship at all levels of governance
was imperative in solving African’s problem.
“Let Africa come together to solve its problems,” Mr Dia said.
He noted that Senegal was drawing lessons from Ghana’s
decentralization programme to solve similar governance issues,
adding that “rural development is a major problem where we need
to exchange ideas”.
