Ghana was among over 30 African countries which featured in the recent International Social Service Spring Fair 2003 held in London.
The other African countries included Nigeria, The Gambia, Algeria, Botswana, South Africa, Cameron, Lesotho, Tunisia and Morocco.
Ghana’s stand featuring exotic display of handicrafts, textiles products, beverages and assorted drinks attracted hundred of visitors including HRH Princess Alexandria, Honourable Lady Ogilvy, The Grand Commander of the Victorian Order, a patron of ISS (UK).
Mrs. Marian Osei, wife of Mr. Isaac Osei, Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK and Stand Director at the fair said she was happy with the level of patronage of Ghanaian goods as well as general enquiries on the displayed items.
She thanked Ghanaian companies for generously making their products available for display at the fair.
