Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey with Chairman Sasaki of JETRO after the signing of the MoU<\/strong><\/p>\n

JAPAN AND Ghana on Thursday signed an agreement that would allow the
\nformer to establish an office in Accra for the Japan External Trade
\nOrganisation (JETRO).<\/p>\n

JETRO is the Japanese institution charged with consolidating Japan\u2019s
\nefforts in export and investment promotion.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony took place in Yokohama on the sidelines of the 7th<\/sup>
\nTokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD). <\/p>\n

According to Nobuhiko Sasaki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
\nJETRO, the establishment of the office, which is billed to take place in March
\n2020, would enhance the promotion of Japanese
\nbusinesses in Ghana. Ghana has the largest
\nnumber of Japanese businesses in West Africa.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo, in a remark, expressed delight in the signing of
\nthe Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), saying: \u201cWe are very interested in deepening economic relations between Ghana
\nand Japan, and to that extent we have spent the last two years trying to improve
\nthe fundamentals of the Ghanaian economy, so that we will be in a better
\nposition to attract investments and interests from Japanese companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana\u2019s macroeconomic indices are in a better position that they were two years ago when I took
\nover. I think that, right now, things are looking very positive for the
\nfuture of Ghana\u2019s economy. To have an organisation like yours coming to
\nAccra and opening up the possibility of wide access to Japanese business is
\nvery encouraging,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The President applauded JETRO for the support it had extended to
\nowners of shea nut businesses in northern Ghana. Besides, he commended JETRO for
\nsupporting Ghanaian businesses to participate in a trade
\nfair in Japan in March, this year. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a fairly broad range of Ghanaian
\nproducts here on the show. All of this means that we are looking forward to the
\ncollaboration, and seeing the opening of this office is also
\na sign that Japan is looking forward to greater and greater involvement in our
\ncountry,\u201d the President added. <\/p>\n
