Gov't eyes strong economic ties with Mauritius
Cooperation in this area, Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia said, will expand the economies of the two countries so as to create jobs and build human capital.
The Vice President made the comments when he received Mauritian head of state, Ameenah Gurib, on Friday.
He also touted the welcoming business environment in Mauritius, adding that Ghana can learn from Port Louis.
He said: "The issue of cooperation between Mauritius and Ghana is to have a mutual benefit in terms of the expansion of our economies, to the creation of jobs…
"We believe that we Africans can really do a lot for ourselves if we build the human capital if we open up our economies, and if we make the business environment very friendly. …
"I think very few countries come close to Mauritius in Africa as far as their business environment is concerned and we have a lot to learn from each other.
"The financial sector, for example, is a major area where Mauritius has done a lot and where Ghana can also learn from. So I look forward to closer ties, deeper relations – more of an exchange of ideas and cooperation in many different sectors between Mauritius and Ghana.”
