Performing the functions of President, he was addressing a reception marking France’s National Day at Cara Lodge on Quamina Street, GINA said.

“We hope that in the near future, we could secure opportunities for training in ‘weather forecasting’, as well as humanitarian assistance for flood victims,” he said, referring to recent heavy rain.

He also stated that the Government is also looking forward to further enhancing cooperation with France, particularly in the areas of trade, foreign economic investment and crime fighting.
