March 8 (Yonhap) — South Korea’s Home Affairs Minister Park Myung-jae has asked Ghana’s government to help South Korean companies gain access to infrastructure projects in the African country, Park’s aides said Thursday.
Park is in Ghana to participate in the African country’s 50th anniversary ceremony of its independence from Britain, which fell on Tuesday.
Park made the request Wednesday while conveying President Roh Moo-hyun’s personal letter to his Ghanaian counterpart John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor to expresses his wish to deepen bilateral ties and exchanges, said Park’s aides.
Later in the day, Park also met Ghana’s Foreign Minister Nana Akufo-Addo and agreed to foster bilateral ties on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the normalization of ties.
A total of 65 countries dispatched delegations to Ghana’s independence celebration.
