Speaking at the opening ceremony of Ghana-Morocco Business forum in Accra, the Member of Parliament for Tema West who doubles as the deputy Minister of Trade said, the reform is aimed at making Ghana the most business friendly economy in Africa.
The Ghana-Morocco business forum organized by Africa Power Road is aimed at strengthening the bilateral business relations between the two countries.
According to the legislator, the three-day friendly visit by King Mohammed XI, the King of Morocco to Ghana was towards the enhancement of trade and investment relation for the mutual benefit of both countries.
