Mr Razaaly, speaking at the Palace, emphasised the need for partnership between the EU and traditional authorities in the areas of culture and in the creative industry to promote culture, peace, and help boost employment opportunities for the youth.
He said, “This visit is not only to boost culture and employment opportunities, but also to strengthen the bilateral relations between Ghana and the EU.”
Ya-Na Abukari (II) commended the EU Ambassador for the visit and called on him to prioritise skills development programmes for the youth to enable them secure sustainable jobs and businesses.
He also appealed for support in the agricultural sector to boost production and ensure food security.
