President John Dramani Mahama has called on African leaders to focus on peace, economic stability, and accountable governance as the cornerstone for attracting meaningful investment into the continent.
Mahama stressed that partnerships and trade agreements alone are not enough to drive investment to Africa. "While partnerships such as what we are forging here at TICAD 9 are important, a lot of the responsibility rests on the shoulders of African leaders to create an environment that is conducive to trade and investments," he said Speaking at the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) in Tokyo, Japan.
The President emphasised that attracting investors requires hard reforms and stable, predictable systems. "We wish to partner with any nation of the world on the basis of a win-win.
But let us not kid ourselves.
