The Turkish government hopes to increase its bilateral trade with Ghana to one billion dollars, with a particular interest for the sector of agriculture and tourism.
According to the new Turkish ambbadador to Ghana, Ozlem Ergun Ulueren, in addition to their numerous investments in the country, the Ghanaian authorities have pointed out several other possibilities.
"We believe that we can achieve these goals for the benefit of both countries. We are determined to be development partners with Ghana, "she said.
Ghana and Turkey have had close relations since independence, during which presidents of both countries made bilateral visits to their respective countries.
Ghana opened an embbady in Turkey in the second half of the 1960s, although it was closed and reopened in 2009.
The ambbadador who has been in Ghana for two months has revealed that Turkish construction companies have already invested more than $ 500,000 in Ghana.
"What they have achieved so far proves that they can be development partners to advance Ghana's development efforts under Ghana Beyond Aid," she said. .
She said that another Turkish company making many progress in the energy sector is Karpowership.
Ms. Ergun Ulueren said that many other Turkish government projects in the country had not yet been completed or had just been completed.
For his part, the Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said he was delighted with the Turkish government's willingness to increase its foreign direct investment.
"The president defends a new vision of Ghana Beyond Aid, focused on self-sufficiency. One of the areas we are looking at, apart from Agric and Tourism, is industrialization.
"Turkey has been very successful in this area, so we will see more foreign direct investment in this area to add value to Agric's output," he said.
He added that the government also wanted to establish a large market in Turkey for Ghanaian products.
MP Ofoase Ayeribi believes that there is a significant outgoing market for traditional and non-traditional exports, so that "we can earn hard currency to revive the economy".
Oppong Nkrumah also urged Turkish investors to try the booming Ghanaian capital market which, he says, is doing pretty well.
