Among others, the two parties discussed the laudable bilateral relationship that exists between Switzerland and the Republic of Ghana. Hon.

He expressed a hearty gratitude for the massive investment in health, water, education, and sanitation through the District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT) and District Assembly Common Fund (DACF).
Hon.
