Dr. Bawumia opened the 22nd Annual General Meeting of the African Trade Insurance Agency.

Vice President of Ghana Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia opened the 22nd Annual General Meeting of the African Trade Insurance Agency this morning with a call for the adoption and implementation of common regional and continent-wide approaches to address Africa's challenges, especially the effects of COVID 19 and the other recent global challenges.

Africa needs to not only create and sustain conditions that are conducive to increased trade and investments, but we also need to remove structural impediments that stand in the way of private enterprises, to pave way for higher and sustainable economic growth over the long term.

If Africa works together in this direction, we will gain more time and mileage in reducing reliance upon external markets for our socio-economic development, and in enhancing the value addition of our resources.
