Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has called on global investors to choose Ghana as their preferred investment destination in Africa.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Ghana National Day event on the margins of the Osaka World Expo 2025 in Japan, she said Ghana remains a strategic entry point into the ECOWAS sub-region and an anchor for Africa-wide trade, hosting the AfCFTA Secretariat.<\/p>\n

She emphasised that Ghana is committed to sustaining a transparent, predictable and investor-friendly business environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want the world to know that Ghana is open for business, and more importantly, that Ghana is ready for partnership,\u201d Ofosu-Adjare declared.<\/p>\n

She added that Ghana seeks to leverage its strategic location, political stability, youthful population, and Pan-African trade platforms to become Africa\u2019s leading business hub.<\/p>\n

Highlighting government\u2019s efforts, she outlined flagship programmes under the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, including the Accelerated Export Development Programme, Feed the Industry Programme, Made-in-Ghana Campaign, Rapid Industrialisation for Jobs Programme, the Women in Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Initiative, and the Free Apprenticeship Programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana\u2019s participation in Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai is not simply about presence; it\u2019s about purpose. It is a call to deepen old alliances and to forge new partnerships,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Madam Ofosu-Adjare also reaffirmed Ghana\u2019s strong bilateral ties with Japan, citing steady growth in trade.<\/p>\n

\"Ghana<\/figure>\n

\u201cOur two nations have nurtured a relationship that continues to flourish across trade, culture, development cooperation, and diplomacy,\u201d she said, noting Ghana\u2019s exports of cocoa, gold and coffee, and Japan\u2019s supply of industrial and consumer goods.<\/p>\n

Vice Commissioner General of the Expo, Shigeto Shikeyema, commended Ghana-Japan relations, recalling that Dr Hideyo Noguchi first visited Ghana in 1927.<\/p>\n
