The Italian Ambassador to Ghana, Ms Laura Carpini on Friday called on the Minister of the Interior, Mr Kwesi Ahwoi to discuss issues aimed at improving the existing bilateral relations between the two countries.

She noted that the two countries had enjoyed long standing cordial relationship in the areas of political leadership and agriculture and there was the need to ensure the sustainability of the relationship.
