French businessmen to visit Ghana

Accra (Greater Accra), 3rd November 99

A delegation of businessmen from French Enterprises Association (MEDEF), will visit Ghana from November 15 to 18, to discuss investment and partnership opportunities with the private sector.

Mr. Michel Roussin, Minister for Cooperation and Chairman of the MEDEF Africa Committee, leads the team.

A statement issued by the French Embassy in Accra said the businessmen would meet Government officials, members of the Ghana-France Chamber of Commerce and Ghanaian business representatives.

They will also visit projects in which French cooperation is involved.

The statement said the visit is a follow-up to a working breakfast hosted by MEDEF in honour of President Jerry John Rawlings during his official visit to France last March.

MEDEF, which represents more than a million companies of all sizes and in all sectors of business in France, was created to "reinforce the links between the French business community and foreign markets."
