THE Central Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwa-Doe, has urged the United States Ambassador to Ghana to impress upon private investors to do business in the region in order to speed up the development of the area.
She said the region, which is the cradle of education and tourism of the country, is ranked among the most deprived in the country despite its potentials in agro and fish processing.
Speaking during a courtesy call on her by the US Ambassador, Mr Donald Teltelbaum, Mrs Benyiwa-Doe said the region abounded in citrus, pineapple, palm oil production, fishery resources and salt mining, which could be exploited to create jobs and wealth to alleviation poverty.
She commended the US for assisting in the conservation project at the Kakum National Park and the restoration of the forts and castles in the region through the United States Agency for International Development.
Mrs Benyiwa-Doe expressed the hope that the scope of co-operation would be expanded for the mutual benefit of their peoples.
Mr Teltelbaum pledged to explore more areas of co-operation between the two countries.
