The Ambassador of Colombia in Ghana and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in the country, Her Excellency Claudia Turbay Quintero has held discussions with the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of Parliament and MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh on how the Diplomatic Corps can facilitate trade between Ghana and its sister countries through the use of technology instead of physical meeting, in the midst of Covid19 restrictions.

In line with the discussion, Frank Annoh-Dompreh is to submit a proposal to the Diplomatic Corps in Ghana for consideration to achieve the goal of facilitating trade between Ghana and its sister countries.

Her Excellency Claudia Turbay Quintero said the economic impact of Covid-19 has been felt by all countries in diverse ways. She said the need to share ideas on how new trade opportunities can be created for the benefit of Ghana and its sister countries cannot be over-emphasized.

Her Excellency Claudia Turbay Quintero described Ghana as a good example in the world in the area of creating a conducive environment to attract investors in the automobile industry.

Frank Annoh-Dompreh said the fact that covid 19 has affected the world's economy is indisputable.
