Accra, July 16, GNA – A delegation from the Ghana-India Chamber of Commerce, led by its Chairman, David Brian Obro, has visited the newly appointed Indian High Commissioner to Ghana, Shri Surinder Bhagat, at the Indian High Commissioner’s office in Accra to officially welcome him to his post.
During the meeting, the delegation briefed the New High Commissioner on the core activities of the Chamber, highlighting its role in fostering economic ties between Ghana and India.
