JAPANESE AMBASSADOR CALLS ON NANA AKUFO-ADDO

The new Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Kaoru Yoshimura, on Thursday, November 13, 2014, called on Nana Akufo-Addo at his Nima residence in Accra.

Accompanied by his First Secretary, Dr. Yoshihiko Higuchi, the purpose of Ambassador Yoshimura’s call on Nana Akufo-Addo was to introduce himself as Japan’s new Ambassador to Ghana and to congratulate Akufo-Addo on his emphatic victory in the October 18 presidential primary of the NPP.

He stated his determination during his tenure to reinforce his country’s continued partnership and economic co-operation with Ghana.

Ambassador Yoshimura, in his brief remarks, also stated that Ghana’s best bet of securing the much needed investment into the country was by ensuring the stabilisation of the macroeconomic environment, as well as reducing the country’s public debt portfolio to sustainable levels.

Nana Akufo-Addo thanked the Ambassador for his visit, stating that “we are very much inspired by the examples of countries like yours; countries which, in a short period of time, were able to change the circumstances of their society and economy. That model, the Asian model, is one that is dear to me and it provides inspiration as to how we can also make progress.”

He assured the Japanese Ambassador that the vision of an Akufo-Addo government, should Ghanaians vote the NPP into power come December 2016, would be to oversee the transformation of “our agrarian economy into a modern and industrialised one, which is self-reliant and plays an active part in the global trade system, and which will deliver prosperity for the Ghanaian people.”

Nana Akufo-Addo added that this vision will be hinged on the building of an environment of democratic principles, a vibrant market economy and strong support for Ghanaian entrepreneurs as a way to propel the Ghanaian economy forward.

“It is a paradigm that will work and one we strongly believe can deliver continued prosperity for the Ghanaian people,” he said.

Present at the meeting were Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo; Hon Isaac Osei, MP for Subin and Minority Ranking Member on Foreign Affairs; and Charles Owiredu, Director of International Relations of the NPP.

CitiFM, Nov 07, Ghanadot - We felt that there was no need inviting Betty Mould Iddrisu, Woyome etc the reason is that we had a lot of dossier on them. We had also written to them. They themselves had provided dossier on what they had done and we then we ourselves through our own research had gathered a lot of information that they did not know about them on them so we would sieve those information and whatever conclusions we want we will get them out of those documents. - .
