The government is desirous to develop ties with the Comoros Islands to enable the two countries to explore opportunities in each other’s spatial economy.
Vice-President John Mahama, said this at a meeting with a delegation from the Comoros Island at the Castle, Osu yesterday.
He said the two countries could work effectively together on issues of infrastructural development, African unity and integration.
The delegation was led by a special envoy of the Comoros Island, Abdel Munim, who delivered a special message from the President of the Comoros Islands.
The Comoros Islands, known as the Union of the Comoros, is a group of three African islands located off the eastern coast of Africa near Madagascar and northeastern Mozambique
It is a highly patronised tourist destination, with a population of about 900,000 and a major exporter of copra, vanilla and perfume.
Vice President Mahama recalled interacting with the Vice President of the Union of the Comoros, Idi Nadhoim, at the last African Union summit in Addis Ababa, and lauded the interest of the Union for rapid African integration for enhanced economic benefits.
“We will do everything possible to strengthen the ties between us since both countries stand to gain,” he said.
Saied Fakhry, Honorary Consul to the Union of the Comoros in Ghana, said the island nation was committed to strengthening bilateral relationship with Ghana.
Through that, he said, business opportunities could be promoted.
