Amissah Arthur confers with Kuwait Ambassador [Photos]

Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has disclosed of plans by the government of Ghana to open a mission in Kuwait which will pave the way for the gulf emirate to have an envoy stationed in Accra.

According to Mr. Amissah Arthur, the move is also expected to enable Kuwait scale-up its support to Ghana through the Kuwaiti fund.

The vice-president said this when the Kuwaiti ambassador to Benin with concurrent accreditation to Ghana, Mohammed Hussain Al-Failakawi paid a courtesy call on him at the flagstaff house.

He further commended the Kuwait government for the support to Ghana’s infrastructure:

“We are grateful for a small state like Kuwait for the many support for the development of infrastructure in Ghana particularly for large scale projects like the Kpone hydroelectric dam…we hope that it will continue even in a more strengthened way than we have now,” Mr. Amissah said.

Ambassador Al-failakawi on his part also expressed gratitude to Ghana for her support to Kuwait some twenty-five years ago. He however explained his visit was to discuss with the Vice President areas of co-operation and support between the two countries.

“…The state of Kuwait will never forget Ghana’s position during Iraqi’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and we are grateful to the government and the people of Ghana,” he said.
