The Executive Chairman of KRIF Ghana Limited, Mr Kennedy Okosun, at the occasion, commended the Israeli Ambassador, Mrs Sharon Bar-li, for her contributions towards the socio-economic development of Ghana in the four-year period of her tour.
He recalled the robust relationship that evolved between Ghana and Israel, thus strengthening partnership in areas of infrastructure, investments and business.
KRIF Ghana Limited, he further stated, was motivated to honour Ambassador Bar-Li with the send-off dinner as an honour and commendation for her good work in Ghana.
Mr Okosun added that for over four decades before now, Israel did not have a mission in Ghana.
Ambassador Bar-Li came to Ghana to re-establish Israeli presence in what is now a fully fledged embassy in Ghana. Previously, Ghanaians travelling to Israel had to go to the Israel Embassy in Nigeria or Côte d’Ivoire.
Mr Okosun noted that Israel, having made giant strides in agriculture and being one of the few countries in the world with self-sufficiency in agricultural produce, should support West African countries in this area.
Recently, the Minister of Agriculture, Mr Fiifi Kwetey, was a guest of the Israeli government.
