Ghana will continue to cooperate with the United Nations to assist in maintaining world peace, a senior official said on Monday.
Ambrose Dery, Minister for the Interior, said Ghana’s contributions to peacekeeping over the years demonstrated its commitment to peace and better future for those in the conflict-ridden parts of the world.
He was speaking at a flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony to mark the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers in Accra.
“We can succeed in building a vibrant and stable democracy underpinned by a prosperous economy, only if we work relentlessly to maintain the peace and security that we have enjoyed for decades,” he said.
The UN Resident Coordinator, Christine Evans-Klock, expressed the UN’s gratitude for the contributions that Ghana makes to UN peacekeeping operations.
Ghana is noted for its role in peace building in many countries and has served in over 65 UN peacekeeping missions around the world. Enditem
