Ghana determined to open a mission in Spain

President John Agyekum Kufuor on Tuesday reiterated that government was determined to establish a permanent mission at the Ambassadorial level in Madrid, Spain.

He said the renewed relationship between Ghana and Spain would feature prominently in the annals of Ghana's history. President Kufuor said this when the out-going Spanish Ambassador in Ghana, Fernando Corral paid a farewell call on him at the Castle, Osu.

The Ambassador is returning to Spain after a four-and-a half year duty in Ghana. President Kufuor commended Mr Corral for the good efforts he made to renew the relationship between the two countries and for working towards a 40 million dollar credit facility restored to Ghana.

He said Ghana was yet to enjoy the full benefit of the facility and that government would pursue efforts to access an additional 100 million dollars credit facility promised by the government of Spain.

He appealed to Corral to continue to be a very good spokesman for Ghana in Spain to attract more investors to Ghana. Corral gave the assurance that the cordial relationship between the two countries would continue even after his departure.
