The Ghana High Commissioner to the UK, Sabah Zita Benson has highlighted the importance of strengthening Ghana’s economic presence in the United Kingdom, following the commissioning of the Export Trade House at the Ghana High Commission’s Highgate office in London.
Speaking at the ceremony on Saturday, March 7, the High Commissioner described the initiative as a major milestone in Ghana’s efforts to expand trade, increase commercial visibility, and deepen strategic partnerships with UK businesses.
“It is a great honour to welcome you all to the Ghana High Commission UK today as we gather for the commissioning of the Export Trade House initiative,” she said. “Today marks more than the opening of a physical space; it represents our collective ambition to deepen trade relations, support Ghanaian exporters, and create new pathways for investment and innovation.”
Mrs. Benson explained that the Export Trade House will serve as a hub for showcasing Ghanaian products in the UK and promoting collaboration between Ghanaian and British businesses. The initiative is particularly focused on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and encouraging value-added exports.
“We reaffirm our belief that economic diplomacy is pivotal in shaping Ghana’s future and unlocking prosperity for our people,” she added, expressing gratitude to partners including the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Ghana Export-Import Bank, and members of the Ghanaian diaspora for their support of the project.
