The Egyptian community in Ghana on Tuesday marked the 56th anniversary of the 23rd revolution which took place in their country in 1952 and expressed their country's desire to maintain security and deepen bilateral cooperation with Ghana.Mr. Allah Mustafa Nosseir, Egyptian Ambassador to Ghana, who invited some Ghanaians to share in the celebrations, said Egypt and Ghana were ready to promote and enhance economic and trade ties. "The two countries have shared common goals, targets and policies...politically, economically, commercially and in the field of technical cooperation," he said.He said Ghana is benefiting from the Egyptian Fund for Technical Cooperation with Africa (EFTCA) in the areas of health and agriculture among others with the aim of promoting developmental issues. Under the EFTCA programme, medical doctors would benefit from training courses in Egypt while agricultural officers would also have the opportunity to train in different fields.The Ambassador commended Ghana for hosting the 2008 African Cup of Nations where the Egyptian National team retained the cup. Mrs. Angelina Baiden Amissah, Deputy Minister in charge of pre-tertiary education at the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports, who represented President John Agyekum Kufuor expressed hope that the two countries would enjoy sustainable peace and stability, development and socio-economic progress."It is significant to note that Egypt was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations on the attainment of independence in 1957," she said. She noted that Ghana and Egypt played crucial roles in the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement, an organization in which both countries still remained active members.Source: GNA
