TEHRAN – Iran and Ghana here on Sunday reviewed the fields of joint cooperation as well as ways to promote mutual trade and economic ties.

The general manager of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) in a meet with the director of Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry pointed to the great distance between the two countries and the lack of banking ties as the main obstacles for the expansion of bilateral economic relations, saying that by creating transportation lines and direct banking ties these problems will be obviated.
Ghana’s Wilson Krofah announced that his country has great potentials in the agricultural sector, especially in growing tropical fruits like pineapples, coconuts, and cocoa.
He also expressed his country’s willingness to apply Iran’s technical and engineering capability for its train and railway renovation and construction.
Mehdi Ghazanfari, for his part, underlined the opening of Ghana’s Embassy in Tehran as the first step for broadening bilateral ties.
He announced that Iran will dispatch delegations, hold exhibitions and create commissions in a bid to recognize Ghana’s potentials and cooperation opportunities
