Mr. Iain Walker, British Envoy and Osei Assibey Antwi, the KMA Boss<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE BRITISH High Commissioner, Iain Walker, has assured of his readiness to play leading roles to help Kumasi become an industrial hub.<\/p>\n

He said his country has a longstanding cordial relationship with the people of Kumasi and wants to use that to create wealth for the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cKumasi is often referred to as Ghana\u2019s second city. My goal is to support its ambition to become a leading industrial hub\u201d, he indicated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Walker added \u201cI want to ensure that the historic Anglo-Ashanti relationship is delivering prosperity within the region for generations to come\u201d.<\/p>\n

He was speaking during the UK-Ghana Business Council Forum, which was held at the Golden Tulip in Kumasi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The one-day forum provided a common platform for participants to discuss possible ways for socio-economic growth between the UK and Ghana.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), the forum was co-chaired by Mr. Walker and Osei Assibey Antwi, the Chief Executive of the KMA.<\/p>\n

Mr. Walker said the UK has planned in advance to expand its engagements in Ghana from government-to-government to the regional and district levels.<\/p>\n

According to him, the UK wants the ordinary Ghanaian, especially those living outside the capital city, to also feel the positive impact of the UK in the country.<\/p>\n

Mr. Walker said the UK had invested in the modernization of the Kumasi Central Market, expansion of Kumasi airport and the construction of the Bekwai hospital.<\/p>\n

According to him, the UK is committed to doing more so that Ghana would be able to transform to an appreciable level and better the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

Osei Assibey Antwi, on his part, stressed on the need for the UK and Ghana to deepen their longstanding relations to help create wealth for the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should pursue our shared commitments for the eradication of poverty, enhance democracy, good governance and the rule of law\u201d, the KMA chieftain remarked.<\/p>\n

Osei Assibey Antwi described Ghana and UK\u2019s present relationship as very friendly and called for more to be done by both sides to take the relations to newer heights.<\/p>\n

The forum was held under the framework of the UK-Ghana Business Council (UKGBC) and the participants had a fruitful discussions.<\/p>\n
