Ghana's Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has called on the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Qatar to the Republic of Ghana, Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Hamid, to position Ghana’s energy sector in the minds of Qatari investors.

Dr Prempeh said this when he received Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Hamid in his office on Tuesday, 18 January 2022.

He further intimated that Ghana’s upstream, downstream and renewable energy sectors remain open for business while highlighting the government’s 2030 petroleum hub agenda.

Dr Prempeh also said Ghana’s stable political atmosphere makes her a safe haven for investment, anchored on the principles of the rule of law and a fair economic system.

The energy minister, in acknowledging the commitment of the Ambassador to the mutual ties of the two nations, said the Ministry of Energy remains committed to attracting significant investments into Ghana, a key step to economic growth to ensure the progress and prosperity of the citizens.

Further discussions centred on the need for Ghana and Qatar to deepen bilateral ties with emphasis on the energy sector.
