The embassy of Ghana in Doha marked the 65th anniversary of Ghana’s Independence Day on Sunday, highlighting the strong relations between Qatar and Ghana.
“The relationship between Ghana and Qatar has witnessed tremendous strides over the past few years after the two countries opened embassies in each other’s capital. Since then, the two friendly countries have hosted their leaders and other high-profile personalities in each other’s country,” Ghanaian ambassador Dr Emmanuel Enos said, noting that several agreements have been signed to leverage the existing co-operation between the two countries.
“A major boost to the extant economic co-operation between the two countries was experienced when Qatar Airways - even during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic - took a major decision to undertake direct flights from Doha to Accra, flying seven days a week.
“While we celebrate Ghana’s National Day, the embassy of Ghana wishes to reaffirm its appreciation to the government and people of Qatar for the continued support to the embassy of Ghana and all the Ghanaians working in the country,” the envoy said.
The 65th anniversary of Ghana’s Independence Day was celebrated by Ghanaians in Africa and around the world on March 6, marking the declaration of Independence in 1957 from Britain by the president at that time, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Ghana was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence from colonial rule. The country’s independence served as a precedent for many African countries to break free from the clutches of colonial rule.
On the date of Independence, Ghanaians would typically reminisce about their history, the sacrifices made by Dr Nkrumah, and all those who fought for the country’s freedom and independence from the British.
The annual Independence Day celebration is invariably marked by a range of festivities across Ghana, which include a national parade of schoolchildren, the civil service, security personnel and workers from various sectors of the Ghanaian economy with the highlight being the delivery of a speech of solidarity by the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Celebrations also take place in different parts of the world where Ghanaians are found. Over the last two decades, Ghana has enjoyed increasingly stable and deepening democratic governance.
Eight successful elections have strengthened the effectiveness of key national institutions, enhanced investor confidence, and anchored the economy in an environment for positive growth.
The country, in celebrating its Independence Day, has been able to chalk a number of successes for herself which includes being the best place for doing business in West Africa and among the fastest-growing economies in the world, according to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report, 2019.
The country has also developed into an established business destination for investors seeking a conducive business environment, committed and progressive government-private sector participation, political stability, transparent regulations, and a dynamic private sector ready for partnerships.
