The Minority Leader, Haruna Idrissu has urged France to collaborate with the Ghanaian government in the area of agriculture as far as the One District, One Factory programme is concerned.

He said French businesses in the country can support the initiative in the processing subsector especially natural fruits.

Mr Haruna also called for support to Ghana in the area of learning the French language an integral part of the Ghana’s Parliamentary service.

The leader noted there is a lot Ghana can learn in the area of Parliamentary democracy which span several years.

The Tamale South Member of Parliament also encouraged the French Envoy to help Ghana learn the French language.

Ghana is surrounding by three French speaking countries to the north, east and west but the study of French is very minimal hence the appeal.

“We trust that by your tenure, we will see a deeper and a stronger bond between the government and people of Ghana and the parliament of Ghana and the parliament of France” he stated.

Mr Haruna said these when the new French Ambassador to Ghana Anne Sophie Ave paid a curtsey call on the Speaker, Prof Aaron Oquaye.
