Dacic thanks Ghana for supporting Serbia's territorial integrity, sovereignty

BELGRADE - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic spoke with Ghanaian counterpart Shirley Ayorkor Botchway in Belgrade on Thursday, thanking her for Ghana's support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia regarding Kosovo-Metohija.

"That is very important for us and the Serbs and the Republic of Serbia will certainly be eternally grateful for that stance," Dacic told a press conference after a meeting with Botchway.

He noted that diplomatic relations with Ghana had been established in 1959 and that Ghana had also attended the first conference of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade in 1961.

"That is why I am extremely happy that we have succeeded in revitalising our relations after all these years that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia," Dacic said.

"We are proud of the traditionally friendly ties and the cooperation between our countries and we remain firmly committed to advance our relations further and deepen our cooperation in all segments," Dacic said.

He added that Serbia and Ghana would sign agreements that were important for advancement of bilateral ties and for making them more concrete.

"I think we have very significant opportunities to boost our economic cooperation, which is relatively modest. The level of our bilateral trade has been at somewhere about 7 to 10 mln dollars a year," he said.
