Speaking to the media, Ambassador, Giger expressed her optimism about Ghana’s economic potential and encouraged the development of new sectors that could penetrate global markets.
“In boosting the economy, I feel that Ghana’s economy and trade should be more diversified,” Ambassador Giger said. “I would be super happy if one day I could go to a Swiss market and buy clothes made in Ghana, handcrafts made in Ghana, or even chocolate made in Ghana.” She emphasized the importance of adding value to local products and expanding the presence of Ghanaian goods on international markets.
Ambassador Giger also reaffirmed Switzerland’s commitment to environmental and climate cooperation with Ghana. “We will continue our cooperation in environmental and climate protection, and I hope other countries will see what we have done,” she noted. “We learn from our experiences, and I hope Ghana will get praise for the work it has done with the EPA in leading some climate initiatives.”
Ghana and Switzerland have a long-standing bilateral relationship, particularly in areas such as trade, cocoa partnerships, and environmental cooperation. Ambassador Giger’s call for economic diversification highlights the potential for Ghana to explore new opportunities and strengthen its economic ties with Switzerland and other countries.
