In the week that Mr. Gbagbo was captured, the security situation in Ivory Coast had deteriorated significantly so it was adjudged that it was not safe for our Embassy to operate fully so Government decided to evacuate the non-essential staff of the mission to Accra. So we left a skeleton staff essentially people who were involved in the evacuation contingency plans for Ghanaian citizens who were ready to come home. So it is never really true that we have closed down our mission because that has certain diplomatic connotations,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He could however not confirm the Newspaper\u2019s report that Ghana\u2019s Ambassador was secretly flown to Accra aboard the Presidential jet on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He said although he is yet to make contact with the Ambassador, his visits to Ghana are purely for consultation purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Mumuni rejected the perception that President Mills supported Mr. Gbagbo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana has had full diplomatic relations with Ivory Coast and President Mills had said that he has no preference as to who rules Cote D\u2019Ivoire and that it was the right of the Ivorian people. Even in the aftermath of the capture of Mr. Gbagbo, government came out to say that what had happened was a new opportunity to rescue the peace process in that country, to build a durable and sustainable peace as a foundation for national reconstruction and that Ghana was committed to support that effort. So clearly there is no love lost between the two countries.\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mumuni said the Embassy will resume full operations when the situation in Abidjan returns to normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Citifmonline.com<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div readability=\"7\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/6a9f6377520x20212.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Foreign Affairs Minister Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni has denied reports that Ghana\u2019s Embassy in Cote D\u2019Ivoire has been closed down.
