Ghana has commended the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for its contribution to the socioeconomic development of the country, especially in the areas of energy, educational develop\u00adment, humanitarian assistance, agriculture and infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana has poised a deep image of appreciation to Saudi Arabia in all necessary fields to enhance our initiatives for the mutual benefit of our citizens,\u201d said Deputy Minister of Energy, Collins Adumako-Men\u00adsah.<\/p>\n
He was addressing a reception in Accra on Wednesday organised by the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Accra, to mark the 94th anniversa\u00adry of the kingdom, established on September 23, 1932 with Arabic as its national language and the Quran as its Constitution.<\/p>\n
In attendance at the Saudi Na\u00adtional Day were the Saudi Arabia Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Sultan Abdul-Rahman Al-Dakhel, Saudi Arabian community in Accra, Ministers of State, members of the diplomatic corps, traditional and religious leaders, and friends of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Mr Adomako-Mensah said Gha\u00adna\u2019s relations with KSA dated back to the 1960s and noted with pride that her fruitful cooperation with KSA had culminated in the signing of a number of agreements be\u00adtween the two countries, including the recent agreements on military cooperation, an agreement between the Ghana Export Promotion Cen\u00adtre and the Saudi Export Agency, with the aim of promoting non-oil exports and business opportunities between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The deputy minister encouraged Saudi investors to take advantage of the conducive business climate in Ghana, and the opportunities presented by the African Continen\u00adtal Free Trade Area to do business in the country.<\/p>\n
He enumerated a number of projects the Saudi government had undertaken in Ghana, including the recent rehabilitation and expansion of the Bolgatanga Regional Hospi\u00adtal to improve healthcare in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Mr Adomako-Mensah reiterat\u00aded Ghana\u2019s resolve to cooperate with the KSA to promote global peace and security, and assured the international community of peace\u00adful and fair December 7 general election.<\/p>\n
For his part, Mr Al-Dakhel said the relations between the Kingdom and Ghana was characterised by mutual respect and cooperation, adding that Saudi Arabia is Ghana\u2019s oldest bilateral partner in the Gulf Region and \u201cSaudi Arabia\u2019s relations with Ghana have paved the way for the expansion of its bilateral relations to the rest of the countries in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Saudi-Ghana relations were indeed diverse and far-reaching, spanning multiple sectors; political, economic, investment and health, adding that King Salman Human\u00aditarian Aid and Relief Centre had also stepped up its activities in Ghana by providing humanitarian services to the good people of Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia indeed goes to great lengths to provide exceptional services and facilities to pilgrims and visitors from around the world, including Ghana, ensuring a comfortable and spiritual experience during Hajj and Umrah,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In the field of education, Mr Al- Dhakel said the Kingdom was one of the world\u2019s leading scholarship destination for students as it con\u00adtinued to remain a priority partner for Ghana<\/p>\n
