VW to establish assembling plant in Ghana – Angela Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that popular German car maker VW is set to establish an assembling plant in Ghana.

Addressing a joint press conference at the Jubilee house, Chancellor Angela Merkel, said the assembly plant and the support for the construction of a vaccine factory and the hybrid solar/hydro plant were part of efforts by Germany to support Ghana beyond aid agenda of President Akufo-Addo.

She noted that the assembling will also create a considerable number of jobs for Ghanaians in the car manufacturing sector. Contributing to the development, President Akufo-Addo said the Ghanaian economy is delighted to welcome the VW vehicle plant into the country. He pledged that Government will give the investor community of Germany every necessary assist that they would require.

President Akufo-Addo on his part welcomed the decision by German car manufacturing giant, Volkswagen, to establish a vehicle assembly plant in Ghana.

According to the President, an agreement between Volkswagen, the Government of Ghana, and a local Ghanaian company for the assembly, and, ultimately, the production of automobiles in Ghana has been reached, after a business meeting between officials from Ghana and a German business delegation.

President Akufo-Addo also assured Chancellor Merkel of Ghana’s continued corporation with the international community on issues bothering illegal migration.

On the threat of terrorism, President Akufo-Addo thanked Chancellor Merkel and Germany for the assistance towards fighting this threat and the jihadist menace.

“Within our modest means, we will continue to play our effective role, because clearly it is in our interest to do so. It is in our interest to contribute to ridding the region of these instruments of destabilisation and destruction,” he assured.
