Vice President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday commended the Japanese government for their continuous support to Ghana in the socio-economic development.
According to him, Japan has been one of the countries in the world that has over the years offered grants and loans to Ghana without interest and other conditionalities attached to the loans.
Vice President Mahama said these when he hosted Prince Naruhito, the Crown Prince of Japan at the Akosombo Presidential Lodge in the Eastern Region as part of his three-day official visit to Ghana.
The Prince who was followed by a delegation of government officials and media practitioners also watched video clips of the Akosombo dam project and the potentials of the area in job creation and the reduction of youth unemployment in the country.
The Vice President said Japan had helped Ghana in education, Health, Science and Technology and particularly thanked the Crown Prince Naruhito for choosing to visit Ghana when the relationship between the two countries was growing stronger.
He gave the assurance that Ghana would continue to play her role in ensuring that relationship between the two countries was strengthened further to benefit generations to come.
Prince Naruhito who did not talk during most of his visits watched the video footages and had a closed door talks with the Vice President.
He later made a whistle stop at Akuse Junction where he inspected the produce of grafted mangoes and interacted with the sellers.
Crown Prince Nahiruto has since left Ghana for Kenya to continue with his two nation tour of Africa.
He was seen off at the airport by Mr. Mahama.
