The Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, Mochizuki Hisanobu, has expressed his government's readiness to help develop an automotive industry that can compete globally in Ghana.
He said Ghana over the last few years had shown prospects that it had the capacity to become the African giant in the area of automotive development, and Japan stood in readiness to share in its technological advancement with the country to achieve this dream. "Japan is one of the countries with technological advancement and is ready to support Ghana in building its automotive industry," he emphasised.
Mr Hisanobu gave the assurance at the launch of the maiden edition of the Japan-Ghana Autoconnect Show in Accra last Thursday.
The show organised by Dapaul Company Limited in collaboration with Japan-Ghana Economic and Cultural Exchange is dubbed: "Japan-Ghana Autoconnect: Auto Skills beyond Borders" and aims at building the capacity and knowledge of technical institutions in the country, as well as individuals in the automotive industry.
