Sunyani, Jan 26, GNA - A five-member delegation from the New Life World Mission in the United States on Wednesday paid a courtesy call on Nana Kwadwo Seinti, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, and discussed issues relating to the development of the region.

The delegates led by Mr Douglas Woodard, the Chairman of the African Assistance Plan, a non-governmental organisation within the Mission, are on a five-day feasibility study tour on Child-Deworming and Rural Water projects in the region.

The other members were Mr Dale Keener, an insurance broker, Mr David Maddox, a building instructor, Mr John Maddox and Mr Matthew Woodard, businessmen.

Nana Seinti commended the delegates for the visit and expressed the hope that the relationship between the two countries would be further strengthened through mutual collaboration.
