Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation visits Ghana
The purpose of this visit is to the reaffirm and further strengthen the excellent relations between the two countries whose shared history dates back centuries.
Gradually, the focus has shifted from development cooperation to trade and investments, initiated by the Dutch “From Aid to Trade” Agenda. This aligns strongly with the Ghana beyond Aid Agenda, of the government of Ghana. Empowerment of the private sector and entrepreneurship are considered to be the main engine for economic growth. Minister Kaag emphasized that this focus is “Not only good for Ghana, but also provides opportunities for Dutch companies and investors”.

Minister Kaag will continue her trip to Ivory Coast, where she will join Prime Minister Rutte and Minister Zijlstra (Foreign Affairs) to take part in the AU/EU Summit.
