Currently the Swedish Trade Minister Eva Bjorling is in Ghana.
The minister has been visiting a Swedish-Ghanaian theater project, had meetings with Ericsson in Ghana and met with Ghana’s Trade Minister Hanna Tetteh. According to Peace FM, Bjorling said that
“trade relations between the two countries had steadily increased over the years, indicating increased interest among Swedish companies to strengthen business relations with Ghana.”
I believe that the last time Sweden sent a minister to Ghana was in 2006 (captured on the popular Swedish TV program Diplomaterna). Earlier this year, the Swedish Ambassador to West Africa promised increased investments in Ghana from Swedish companies. And now this visit, so maybe ties between Ghana and Sweden are actually being strengthened.
I feel it is hopeful that the relationship between my two countries, Sweden and Ghana, is based on trade rather than aid.
Some Swedish companies in Ghana are Sandvik, AtlasCopco, MTG/ViaSat and Ericsson.
