On 30 May, more than 20 representatives of Swiss businesses operating in Ghana and the chairman of the Swiss-Ghanaian chamber of commerce attended the informal lunch organized by the newly arrived Swiss Ambassador Philip Stalder at his residence with the support of the Embassy’s economic section staff. The lunch was intended as an opportunity to establish and strengthen contacts between Swiss companies and the Swiss Embassy, to exchange views on the state of Ghana’s economy and to discuss the opportunities and challenges companies face in their daily operations. 

In his address to the participants, the Ambassador expressed his wish to work closely with the private sector by highlighting the benefits of creating win-win situations for all parties. He pointed out that representatives of Swiss businesses are “brand” ambassadors of Switzerland’s image projected in Ghana, and affirmed to stand ready to support further efforts to promote Swissness in Ghana and trade between the two countries.
