Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced that Ghana and Japan have committed to three priority initiatives.
The areas are reviving the Volivo to Dorfor Adidome bridge project, which will connect the Greater Accra, Volta and Eastern Regions; an interchange in the Ashanti Region to ease congestion; and Technical support to boost rice production in Ghana.
Mr Ablakwa revealed this after having a bilateral engagement with Her Excellency Suzuki Momoko, Chief Representative of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Ghana.
He indicated that Ghana shall also be fully represented at TICAD 9 “where we will explore more partnerships including scaling up our chocolate exports to Japan considering the ever increasing popular Japanese demand for Ghana Chocolate.”
President Mahama’s government will continue to deepen Ghana-Japan cooperation as we honour the memory of Noguchi and many others, he wrote on his X page on Thursday April 3.
