The Swiss Ambassador to Ghana, Simone Giger has urged government to diversify economic activities in the country to enable the country have more access to the European market.
Describing the relationship between Ghana and Switzerland as natural allies, Madam Giger encouraged Ghanaian producers to add more value to products intended to enter other markets across the world.
“I feel that Ghana’s economy and trade should be more diversified. 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 said on the Citi Breakfast Show on Thursday, June 5, 2025.
On environmental and climate issues, Madam Giger pledged Switzerland’s continues support in renewable energy.
She pointed out that renewable energy is a low hanging fruit that can be fully accessed to improve electricity to all parts of the country.
She recounted a number of supports provided under the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation to supply solar powered electricity to rural areas.
“We will continue our cooperation in environmental and climate protection, and I really 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.”
