development talks with President John Dramani Mahama, senior government
officials, as well as women, business, and civil society leaders,
February 14 and 15, 2013.
Ghana joined the World Bank in September 1957, a development partnership
which Vice President Diop describes as having grown strongly, over the
past several decades, and we are happy to see Ghana continuing to make
major strides in maintaining its high economic growth while investing in
the health, education, and job opportunities for its people.
At the end of the visit, he will hold a dialogue session with the
media, which will be carried live on Friday February 15, 2013, at 4:00
