The Ambassadors and High Commissioners who attended the opening ceremony of the Volta Trade and Investment Fair at Ho last week Wednesday took part in tree planting in front of the Ho Jubilee Park to mark the commencement of the African Diplomatic Garden Project.
They included the Senegalese Ambassador, Mr Aboubacar S. Barry; Malian Ambassador, Abdoul Kader and Togolese Ambassador Colonel Awoki Panasa.
The High Commissioners are Eliphas M. Barine, Kenya; Ibok-Eke Ibas, Nigeria; Grace Jeanet Mason, South Africa and Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, Namibia.
The Namibian High Commissioner said that the Volta Region had great potentials for tourism and commended the people of Ho for their cleanliness.
The Kenyan High Commissioner, Mr Barine also said that the African Diplomatic Garden Project was appropriate in the wake of the efforts to unify the continent.
He said that the frontiers which divided the various countries in Africa should now become points of reunification.
The Ho MCE, Mr Divine Bosson said that the project would be completed next year.
According to him, the two-acre garden would have chalets and other recreational facilities to meet international standards.
“We are doing this jointly with the Diplomatic Community and so the focus is to make the place a symbol of African unity,” the MCE added.

Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
