Ghana is considered Turkey\u2019s third largest trade partner, Turkish President Abdullah Gul, said on Thursday at a trade investment forum organised in Accra.<\/p>\n
He said Ghana\u2019s vibrant diversified market economy coupled with
its democracy made it attractive for Turkey to forge strong trade
relations with her.<\/p>\n
President Gul, who is leading a 108-Turkish delegation, is on a
two-day visit to Ghana to strengthen bilateral relations and
co-operation.<\/p>\n
He said Ghana and Turkey could co-operate to develop the tourism,
agriculture, road construction, health, energy, transport and
communication sectors.<\/p>\n
President Gul said his country was interested in investing in
Ghana and other African countries to bring socio-economic development
to\u201dthe doorsteps of the people\u201d.<\/p>\n
He observed that due to the inter-relations that existed in the
world, Africa\u2019s developmental challenges needed to be addressed
through the collaborative efforts of both the developed and
underdeveloped world.<\/p>\n
\u201cProblems and challenges in Africa cannot be left for Africans to
solve. If the problems are left unsolved, it would become a problem
for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Gul called on government to be committed towards
developing the education and tourism sectors as they had the potential
of raking in more revenue.<\/p>\n
He said because Turkey had a well-developed tourism industry, more
than 30 million tourists visited the country, last year.<\/p>\n
President Gul challenged Ghana to co-operate with Turkey to
utilise transfer of technology, expertise and experience to maintain a
diversified economy.<\/p>\n
Ms Hanna Tetteh, Minister of Trade and Industry said Ghana needed
to learn from Turkey to add value to export commodities.
She gave the assurance that Ghana had established a credible
democracy to attract and retain foreign investment.<\/p>\n
Ms Tetteh called for a private, public partnership to develop the
communication, health and transport sectors of the Ghanaian economy.
Alhaji Mohammad Mumuni, Minister of Foreign Affairs, traced the
diplomatic and trade relations between Ghana and Turkey to 1958.<\/p>\n
He noted that Turkey had recently rekindled its enthusiasm in
trade relations with Africa by establishing 15 missions on the
continent.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Mumuni said Ghana was committed towards adopting the best
technological transfers from Turkey to develop her economy.
The Ghana-Turkey Trade Investment forum was to hold bilateral
talks to explore areas of comparative advantage for mutual benefit for
both countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
