She also praised the contributions of the Republic of Serbia to the economic development of Ghana, in particular the construction of the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) by the company EnergoProjekt.
The Minister took the opportunity to highlight some of the government’s flagship programs aimed at restructuring the economy and creating jobs for the youth, such as the One District, One Factory and Growing for Food and Jobs initiatives.
She also invited Serbian investors to work with the government and the private sector to set up agricultural processing plants in Ghana.
During his visit, Ivica Dacic is expected to meet members of the judiciary and a number of ministers, including the Defense and Agriculture Ministers and the Minister of State for Education.
