Britain promises to partner Ghana in
her development aspirations
Bonwire (Ash), July 3, Ghanadot/GNA- Dr.
Nicholas Westcott, British High Commissioner to Ghana, has
promised that his country would continue to partner Ghana in
her socio-economic endeavours to enhance the standard of
living of its people.
He said this was based on the premise that the nation had
over the years upheld the rule of law, respect for the
fundamental human rights of the citizenry and also deepened
democracy through good governance.
Dr. Westcott said this at a durbar of the chiefs and people
of Bonwire in the Ejisu/Juaben Municipality of Ashanti.
The durbar was held in honour of the British High
Commissioner, when he visited the town to acquaint himself
with the operations of the Kente industry as well as some of
the challenges facing it.
He commended leaders of the nation for putting in place
proactive economic policies for the accelerated development
of the nation and challenged them to aspire for greater
heights to help achieve a middle income status in the near
future.
He also implored managers of the Kente industry to evolve
pro-scientific mechanisms to improve upon Kente weaving and
also ensure increased productivity since the fabric was
unique all over the world.
Nana Bobie Ansah II, chief of Bonwire, thanked the High
Commissioner for the visit and hoped he would use his good
offices to impress upon his country to partner the industry
for its progress.
