The Ghana High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Her Excellency Sabah Zita Benson, has embarked on a strategic business and market outreach in Birmingham, engaging Ghanaian entrepreneurs as part of efforts to strengthen economic ties and deepen collaboration between Ghana and the UK.
The initiative is aligned with the establishment of the Ghana Trade House in the UK, a platform created to promote Ghanaian goods and services, facilitate investment opportunities, and encourage active participation of the Ghanaian diaspora in national development.
During the visit, Madam Benson held discussions with Ghanaian business owners to gain insights into their experiences, challenges, and aspirations, while exploring practical ways the Trade House can support business growth and improve access to the UK market.
Speaking at the engagement, the High Commissioner underscored the importance of partnership and dialogue, describing the Trade House as a strategic hub for trade promotion and business development.
“This initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering economic collaboration and ensuring that Ghanaian businesses in the UK have the necessary support to thrive. Through partnership and dialogue, we can build stronger ties and create opportunities for our entrepreneurs to succeed,” she said.
The outreach forms part of a broader strategy by the Ghana High Commission to promote the export of Ghanaian products and services, while creating avenues for investment and collaboration between the Ghanaian and UK business communities.
Mrs. Benson also highlighted the critical role of the Ghanaian diaspora in national development, urging them to take advantage of opportunities offered by the Trade House to grow their businesses and contribute to Ghana’s economic progress.
The Ghana Trade House, inaugurated as a central hub for trade and investment promotion, is expected to improve access for Ghanaian entrepreneurs to the UK market, showcase the diversity of Ghanaian products, culture, and innovation, and further strengthen bilateral trade relations between Ghana and the United Kingdom.
