Amidst the labour unrest in Ghana, the biggest trade mission ever to West Africa from the British mainland is feverishly putting the finishing touches to the "Partners in Progress" trade fair in Accra scheduled from 22 - 26 May 1995.

Participants include members of chambers of commerce all over Britain with at least 30 members going from the Leicester chamber alone.

The official opening of the fair is on Tuesday 23 May, followed by three trade days and cumulates with a public day on Friday 26 May.
