Austria businessmen consider Ghana a vital biz destination, pitches President Bellen

Austria’s President, Alexander Van der Bellen has described Ghana as the most important destination in Africa currently for Austria and the Austrian businesses.

Austria’s Head of State, Alexander Van der Bellen said that the management of the Ghanaian economy, for which Ghana is currently projected to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world mainly in the last two years, has made the country very attractive for investors from Austria.

The 75-year old Austrian leader made this known on May 27, 2019 when he held closed-door bilateral discussions with Ghanaian counterpart, Nana Akufo-Addo. Ghana’s Head of State is currently in Austria to participate in the R20 Austrian World Summit on Climate Change. There he urged Austrian firms to invest in clean energy initiatives in Ghana.

While highlighting the combat against terrorism and the increasing terrorists’ activities in the Sahel, the President urged to more support in aid of efforts by the African Union and the G5 du Sahel in combating the menace. “The coordination of activities between the armies and the intelligence agencies of our countries is absolutely essential to a successful battle against terrorism,” Nana Akufo-Addo urged, as reported by Graphic Online.

On the other hand, while attending the R20 Austrian World Summit on Climate Change, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo assured his country’s preparedness to tackle the climate change phenomenon.

“It is in own interest to act to salvage the economic fortunes of the continent, and, more so, step up our collective efforts to fight decisively climate change,” he added.
