The National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has started promoting fuel trade and investment between Ghana and Mali.
The strategy is to engage Malian authorities and importers to enhance fuel supply from Ghana to the Sahelian region.
A delegation from the NPA, led by a Deputy Chief Executive, Mrs. Linda Asante, paid a four-day working visit to Mali.
The team held meetings with key stakeholders, including the regulators, Customs, the directorate in charge of trade, and the Malian petroleum importers.
Mrs. Asante said the visit was part of NPA’s strategy to “deepen economic relations between Ghana and Mali and other countries in the sub-region, particularly in the area of fuel trade”.
She said the idea is to collaborate with key Malian institutions to develop export protocols and sign a trade cooperation agreement to promote fuel trade and investments between the two countries.
