President John Agyekum Kufuor yesterday received the Letters of Credence of four new Ambassadors accredited to the country and gave the assurance that the Government was determined to ensure Ghana stayed the course of democracy.
The Government, he said, would never be the source of election confusion and would provide the resources to make the conduct of the December poll, free, fair and transparent.
This was when the Danish Ambassador, Mr Stig Barlyng, called at the Castle, Osu , to present the Letter accrediting him to the country.
The newly appointed Ambassador of the United States (US), Mr Donald Gene Teitelbum, that of France, Mr Francis Hurtut, and Mr Frederic Banguora, Guinea, also presented their Letters.
President Kufuor acknowledged the support the Danish Government has been giving to the social development and the growth of Ghana's democracy.
The European nation, he said, through the Danish Development Agency (DANIDA), had been supportive of Ghana.
Mr Barlyng, was happy with the high level of development co-operation between Ghana and his country, which he noted, for the past eight years had been stronger than it had ever been.
He said they were eager to see the Ghanaian-Danish Co-operation implemented in accordance with the agreed principles for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
At the turn of the US Ambassador, President Kufuor said there was the need to make sure that the remarkably warm US-Ghana ties were protected and nurtured.
The friendship had manifested in practical support of the country by the US and he cited the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) assistance of 547 million dollars.
Added to this, were also the state visits by US President George Bush and that of the wife, Laura.
He said Ghana would be counting on Mr Teitelbum to help build on the relations.
The Ambassador pledged to do everything to promote the deep and positive relationship for the mutual benefit of the peoples of the two countries.
When the French Ambassador took his turn, President Kufuor asked him to help promote causes that would broaden and deepen Ghana-France relations.
He expressed appreciation for France development assistance to the country mentioning among them the National Identification Project, agricultural sector and the security services.
President Kufuor also welcomed the announcement by the Ambassador that he would help to promote the spread of the teaching and learning of French language in schools.
Mr Hurtut praised Ghana's democracy and economic performance, saying, 'You are an exemplary country.'
President Kufuor recalled the long and warm relations between Ghana and Guinea and asked that the two increased their level of co-operation on the economic front, when Mr Bangoura called.
He said it was time they revived their joint Permanent Economic Co-operation to boost economic interaction and co-operation. Source: GNA - Ghana News Agency
