Mr. Gordon Witherel, the outgoing United Kingdom (UK) High Commissioner, on Thursday hailed Ghana for good governance and socio-economic performance, saying, he was leaving with the feeling that the country was heading in the right direction."Ghana is at the forefront of good things happening in Africa in terms of governance, economic growth and reform. This is a vibrant time to be here."He said this when he called at the Castle, Osu, to bid farewell to President John Agyekum. He is leaving after almost four years of his duty tour of the country.The High Commissioner noted that the period of his stay was marked by improved relations between his country and Ghana, highlighted by President Kufuor's state visit to the UK at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II.The feeling of warmth and friendship that permeated the visit, he said, demonstrated the strong ties between the two countries.President Kufuor said, it was true that the relations between Ghana and UK had "really warmed up and become stronger."He said his state visit to the UK was something "we will live with forever. It is indelible."President Kufuor commended the High Commissioner for the way he endeared himself to Ghanaians as well as the support and encouragement that helped to put the country on the path of growth.Source: GNA
