Accra, Jan 27, Ghanadot/GNA-Vice President
John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday said Government was committed
to realize the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority,
which was targeted at reducing poverty in the three Northern
regions in Ghana.
He welcomed development assistance in Government efforts at
macro economic stability to meet the expectation of
Ghanaians, in line with the Government's manifesto before it
assumed power.
In that regard, the Vice President praised Demark for its
development assistance to Ghana in the area of water and
health provision, expressing the need for deeper ties
between the two nations.
Vice President Mahama made the appeal in Accra, when the
Danish Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Stig Barlyg, called on him at
his office at the Castle, in Osu, Accra.
The Vice President said the economic challenges faced by
Ghana also provided opportunities for collaboration for
improved lives of the people of Ghana.
Mr Barlyg traced the ties between the two nations to the
colonial era and reiterated Denmark's readiness for
development co-operation.
He commended Ghana on its recent peaceful elections.
