Ghana-EU ties stronger now – Bawumia

Vice-President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia has called for increased trade and investment between Ghana and the member states of the European Union (EU), as the Akufo-Addo government strives to achieve its vision of a Ghana Beyond Aid.

Dr Bawumia made the call when he addressed members of the EU delegation to Ghana at the Ghana-EU Political Dialogue on the theme: “EU partnering Ghana Beyond Aid”.
