Madam Ayorkor Botchwey said considering the strong relations that existed between the two countries, there was the need for the two countries to explore opportunities in the areas of trade and investment.

“It is something we’ve worked on for a very long time and we are hoping that we can make a lot of progress on it…”
“Saudi is a very important friend of Ghana and, also we’ve taken note of the programme that you’ve added us to, which is the Humanitarian Programme… All these would go into consideration.”
Mr Al Baker, expressed gratitude to Madam Ayorkor Botchwey for the warm hospitality.
Saudi Food Expo 2022, the biggest Food and Beverage and Hospitality Trade Fair in Saudi Arabia’s business calendar, is slated for February 20-23, 2022, in Riyadh.
