Mr. Valiollah Mohammadi, Iranian Ambassador to Ghana, on Thursday pledged Iran's commitment to consider assisting Ghana in the areas of economics, trade and information communication and technology.
He said Iran was already assisting Ghana in the areas of health, education, culture and rural development and there was the need to deepen the existing relationship.
Mr. Mohammadi made the pledge when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Information, Mrs Zita Okaikoi in Accra to congratulate her on her assumption of office and renew collaboration with the government.
He noted that the Iranian government had provided ambulances and built hospitals where quality medical services were being rendered.
Iran has also arranged with the Ministry of Health to have one Ghanaian doctor to undergo further training each year in the Asian country for 10 continuous years to enrich the quality of health care professionals and enhance quality health care delivery.
In the area of education, Mr Mohammadi said Iran had also given assistance at the tertiary level.
Mr Mohammadi explained that Iran had also signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation to assist it with four million dollars to improve its broadcast from analogue to digital.
"This assistance is also to enable the Corporation to offer to Ghanaians and other clients better services," he added.
He called on the media to help positively in marketing the two countries and deepen the co-operation that existed between them. Mrs Okaikoi commended the Iranian government for the assistance being given to Ghana and called for her involvement in other areas of development.
She assured the Ambassador of Ghana's co-operation to make the services being rendered fruitful. 2 April 09
