He presented Ghana as a gateway to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and outlined investment opportunities in agriculture, energy, mining, infrastructure, digital innovation, manufacturing, and tourism. He also cited the 24-Hour Economy strategy as a key government initiative aimed at industrialization, productivity, and youth employment.
Highlighting Ghana-Brazil cooperation, the Ambassador called for partnerships in agribusiness, renewable energy, infrastructure, and technology, noting the potential for South-South collaboration to drive inclusive growth.
