Led by the Executive Director of the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC), Mrs Mawuena Trebarh, the delegation will look at such areas as automotive, airport services, advertising, construction, agriculture/ agro-food processes and general trading.
The Ghanaian delegates are expected to meet with potential Mexican partners and Mexican chamber of commerce and industries of the related sectors.
The Ambassador of Mexico to Ghana, Mrs Maria de los Angeles Arriola Aguirre, announced this during a reception for the delegation at her residence in Accra.
She said the delegation was the first Ghanaian Business Mission to Mexico, and that would open doors for Mexican and Ghanaian businessmen to explore how they could work together to make both countries more present in each other.
Mexico-Africa Business Forum
During their stay in Mexico City, the capital city of the second largest economy in Latin America and one of the 20 biggest economies of the world, she said, the Ghanaian mission would participate in the second Mexico-Africa Business Forum organised by the Mexican business promotion agency, PROMEXICO.
This, she noted, would be within the framework of the Week of Africa in Mexico hosted by the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In return to the Ghanaian mission to Mexico, the Ambassador said during the month of June, PROMEXICO, which is the counterpart of the GIPC, would also lead the First Mexican Business Mission to Ghana, composed of an equivalent number of prominent Mexican businessmen and investors.
These missions were the results of common efforts by the GIPC and the Embassy of Mexico in just one year of the full opening of the mentioned diplomatic mission in Accra, she observed.
She added that the target was to strengthen the economic ties between both countries, who are called to turn two main actors in the global economic growth in the years following.
