Chinese Ambassador calls on Asantehene
Kumasi (Ash), Jan. 15, Ghanadot/GNA
- Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, has appealed to the
Chinese Ambassador in Ghana to use his good offices to
promote the development of technical education in Ghana.
He said technical education was crucial to identifying the
socio-economic potentials of the nation as well as the
effective utilization of our human and natural resources and
therefore needed to be intensified to enable the nation
reach a middle income status by 2015.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu made the call when Mr. Yu Wenzne, Chinese
Ambassador to Ghana paid a courtesy call on him at the
Manhyia Palace in Kumasi at the weekend.
The Asantehene recalled his visit to China in October last
year and saw how that country had advanced in areas of
technology which he said could be transferred to Ghana to
train the youth, and stressed that it was about time that
Africans used the resources at their own disposal to develop
their own economies.
He stressed that, he was currently advocating for the
training of the Ghanaian youth in technical education so
that the country’s middle level man-power base could be
strengthened.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu noted with delight the fact that under
President John Agyekum Kufour’s government the relationship
between Ghana and China had blossomed which was epitomized
in the number of projects Chinese companies were engaged in.
Mr. Wenzne commended the Asantehene for his good leadership
qualities and said China was committed to collaborating with
Ghana to enable the nation to realize her development goals.
