The Chargé d’Affaires of the United States Embassy in Ghana, Rolf Olson, has reaffirmed his country’s unwavering commitment to mutual interests and strategic partnerships with Ghana, aimed at fostering development and prosperity for both nations.
Speaking at the celebration of the United States’ 249th Independence Day in Accra last Thursday (July 3), Mr Olson said Ghana and the US had maintained enduring cooperation. This cooperation spans key areas like security, health, education, and trade.
“We can build on the strong foundations that US assistance helped construct by fostering increased private sector-led growth in energy, mining, and various other critical sectors of Ghana’s economy,” Mr Olson stated.
He added that the US was keen to support Ghana through innovation, investment, and job creation. “The US can help create high-skilled and high-value jobs, building on the innovation, ingenuity, and industriousness that have characterised US companies who are eager to explore more business in and with Ghana, when the conditions are favourable to investment,” he said.
Mr Olson took over from former Ambassador Virginia Palmer.
