Ghana and Turkey on Thursday signed five agreements as part of the official visit of Turskish President Abdullah Gul, to Ghana, to enhance their diplomatic and bilateral relations.<\/p>\n
The agreements, which were signed by sector ministers of both
countries, cover Bilateral Air Services, Health and Medical Sciences,
Military Training and Science, Mutual Abolition of Visas for Holders
of Diplomatic Passports and Memorandum of Understanding for the
Establishment of Consultations on Political Mechanism.<\/p>\n
This follows a close-door tete a tete discussion between
President Gul and host John Evans Atta Mills on areas of common
interest, at the Osu Castle, in Accra.<\/p>\n
The Turkish President, who arrived in Accra on Wednesday, is
leading a 150-member delegation, made up of business people and
investors, legislators and academicians on a three-day African tour
taking him to Ghana for two days and Gabon for a day.<\/p>\n
In statements prior to, and after the discussions, both leaders
expressed a strong need for the two nations to enhance their bilateral
ties.<\/p>\n
President Mills, who had lauded Turkey President for the honour
done Ghana by allowing her to host him and his delegation, expressed
the nation\u2019s appreciation for Turkish assistance in human resource
development in the areas of Medicine, Computer Science and Business
Administration.<\/p>\n
Ghana and Turkey went into diplomatic relations sometime after
Ghana\u2019s independence in 1957, and Turkey later established an embassy
in Ghana, which was rather closed down for economic reasons in 1991.<\/p>\n
President Mills called for the renewal of ties between Accra and
Ankara due to the changing circumstance and said the opening of a
Ghana Embassy in Turkey was under consideration.<\/p>\n
He said the visit of the Turkish President scheduled for last
year could not come off due to unfair circumstances.<\/p>\n
However, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Trade, made a visit to
Ghana which culminated in the organisation of a Ghana and Turkey
Business Forum.<\/p>\n
President Mills expressed the nation\u2019s gratefulness to Turkey for
its interest in Ghana, adding that the high-powered delegation was an
indication of the considerable interest in Ghana\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
He gave credit to Turkey for its decision to host the upcoming
Fourth UN Conference on Least Developed Economies, and announced that
Ghana would be represented at the meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
