Let’s cement bond of relationship between Brazil and Ghana – Ambassador

Mr Luis Fernando Serra, Brazil Ambassador to Ghana, has underscored the need to cement the bond of friendship between the two nations for the mutual benefit of their nationals.

He made the call at the weekend when he and some officers of a Brazilian Naval Vessel, “Corvette Barroso,” currently at berth at the Tema Harbour, paid a courtesy call on Osonga Nii Adjei Kraku II, Tema Manste, at his palace at Tema New Town.

Mr Serra recounted that the cordial relationships between his country and Ghana dates back to 1836 when the first Brazilians who traveled to Ghana were hosted by the Gas and thank the Gas for the warm reception.

Commander Luiz Roberto Cavalcanti Valicente, Captain of the Ship, presented two bottles of Brazilian Schnapps to the Tema Traditional Council.

Osonga Kraku commended the crew for the gesture, and presented a miniature stool of the traditional council to the team.

Commodore A K Addison, Flag Officer Commanding the Eastern Naval Base or Command, led the delegation to the palace.
