JAK Praises Leadership In Mauritius

President John Agyekum Kufuor on Tuesday said the quality of leadership exhibited by the government of Mauritius had provided the best evidence for peace and stability resulting in phenomenal economic development.

He said because of the quality of the leadership, Mauritius, which was once a developing country had been turned into a modern vibrant export-oriented and investment attracting country with very respectable Gross Domestic Product (GDP) comparable to many in the developing countries.

President Kufuor said this when replying to the toast at a dinner held in his honour at the Maritim Hotel, Balaclava by Sir Anerood Jugnauth, Prime Minister of Mauritius.

President Kufuor, therefore, called on African countries and other developing countries to emulate the Mauritian leadership through partnership, adding "we are convinced that such partnerships can provide examples to other developing countries".

He said his visit was to invite Mauritian industry, and investors to join hands with Ghanaian businesses to provide the fundamental kind of partnership that would be mutually beneficial to both countries.
