Ghana’s Ambassador Designate to South Korea, Kojo Choi, has expressed optimism about Ghana’s ability to attract significant investments from Korean companies, provided that the right, mutually beneficial conditions are created.

In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, August 12, Choi explained that both Ghana and the wider African continent could offer valuable opportunities for Korea’s next phase of industrial and technological growth.

“If it will benefit our country [Ghana], we have to go and see what is in there. If you think of Korea, it is a very high-tech, very industrial place. So many of the companies in Korea are looking for ways and means of being able to go on the next journey.”

“I believe that Ghana and Africa can provide that platform for them. Of course, there are certain conditions, and if the environment is suitable for them, they will only come when they know it’s beneficial to them. Ghana will only have them when we know it’s beneficial to us,” he said.

However, Choi made it clear that these partnerships must be grounded in mutual benefit. He pointed out that Korean companies would only consider investing in Ghana if the environment was conducive to their success.

“A good ambassador understands business, being able to balance a win-win. I believe a lot could be done in that sense,” he stated.
