Ghana Lauds France for Technical and Economic Support

Ghana has applauded France for its continued technical and economic support in the areas of defense, agriculture, health and education, energy and public sector reforms.

Mrs. Cynthia Morrison, Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, said it was also heart-warming that French businesses in the country had kept growing.

French companies, operating in Ghana have shot up to 65 from 42 within the last three years.

Among them are SCOA (services), CFAO (automobile), Total (energy), SG-SSB (banking) and UMARCO (shipping).

The Minister expressed confidence that the presence of these companies would go a long way to help achieve the government’s goals of economic transformation and job creation.

Mrs. Morrison said this when she led a delegation to join in the commemoration of French National Day in Accra.

The French National Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille on 14th July 1789, a turning point of the French Revolution as well the F?te de la Fédération, which celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790.
