Kumasi, April 4, GNA - Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, on Friday repeated his appeal to foreign investors to do business in Ghana and open employment opportunities for the youth. He said investing in Ghana would not only offer opportunities for the youth to raise their living standards but would also contribute to the development of the country. Otumfuo Osei Tutu said this when Mr. Nicolas Lang, the Swiss

Ambassador in Ghana, paid a courtesy call on him at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Friday.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu expressed his gratitude to the Swiss government for the support given to Ghanaians from its good governance programmes. "We are also learning from the democratic path that Ghanaians have taken from the Swiss people and we are happy with the good relations between the two of us."

Ghanaians are more determined to go through this year's general election democratically", he said.

Mr Lang said the government of Switzerland was committed to the development of African countries, especially Ghana. He said his government's four-year programme to Ghana under which Switzerland would give Ghana 15 million dollars annually beginning this year, would support the development of the country.
