Ghana’s High Commissioner to India Robert Tachie-Menson believes that bilateral trade between the two countries would reach $1 billion by 2013, the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) has reported March 12, 2012.

“We expect bilateral trade between India and Ghana to reach $1 billion by 2013. The bilateral trade in 2010-2011 was at $818 million.
