ACCRA, GHANA — The Government of Vietnam has expressed its desire to develop more co-operative relations with Ghana, particularly in trade and agriculture.

Presenting his credentials to President John Kufour of the Republic of Ghana earlier this week, Vietnamese Ambassador Do Cong Minh reiterated the nation’s hopes that co-operative ties with Ghana will grow deeper.

President Kufour appreciated the tremendous achievements made by Viet Nam in national economic reform.

Kufour said that Viet Nam and Ghana, as two developing countries and members of the Non-Aligned Movement, have great potential for co-operation.

The president said he hopes to boost co-operation with Viet Nam in trade, agriculture, health care and construction, based on the country’s detailed proposals.

Viet Nam and Ghana established diplomatic relations in 1965.
