Ghana has intensified moves to get Russia to become one of the biggest players in the country’s oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n

Russia, which is rich in oil and gas, has not shown significant interest in Ghana’s oil and gas sector despite its involvement in some industries in Ghana.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”ecmv0Ern2tiFKEv3xgVOVxF5G3kNDacn”]Ghana-Russia trade statistics indicates that external trade turnover\u00a0declined from $1.42 billion in 2010 to $1.02 in 2015, while Russia’s share in
\nGhana’s total external trade stood close at 0.4 per cent in 2015.<\/p>\n

Vice President Amissah Arthur is currently in Russia to woo Russian investors while attending the Russia-Africa Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the forum Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur urged Russian authorities to create an avenue for investment into Africa especially in the oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n

‘For us it is important that we create an avenue for investment from Russia especially in the oil and gas sector which Russia is clearly a leader but we do not see that leadership translate into activity in the oil sector in Africa.<\/p>\n

We need to see a certain focus that is brought to bare. Africa is a vibrant and exciting area.<\/p>\n

We have a lot of spontaneity and all we have tried to do is to guide and direct this spontaneity into a consistent coherent grant that allows for the human development of Africa.’<\/p>\n
