U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Vice President of African Affairs and President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center Thursday met with President Nana Akufo-Addo to discuss ways to strengthen their bilateral economic relationship.

Scott Eisner said, "Ghana has proven its capacity to be a strong economic partner for American businesses.

"A robust economic relationship benefits both of our countries, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is committed to promoting commercial ties in Ghana and throughout Africa.” 

He disclosed this when he led a business mission to Ghana to meet with the president and other senior government officials, including the CEO of the Ghana Investment and Promotion Center, Yoofi Grant.

In addition to the U.S.-Ghana bilateral relationship, the business mission also addressed ways the U.S.-Africa Business Center can support further cooperation with the broader Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than three million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.

Its International Affairs division includes more than 70 regional and policy experts and 25 country and region-specific business councils and initiatives. The U.S. Chamber also works closely with 117 American Chambers of Commerce abroad.

The U.S.-Africa Business Center is the preeminent voice in the global business community advocating for increased trade between the United States and Africa.
