Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Cote d\u2019Ivoire interministerial delegation have engaged Ghana to discuss issues relating to transboundary water resources, forest lands of the two countries.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to her, the bond between Ghana and Cote d\u2019Ivoire will continue to be enhanced as part of the efforts to preserve water bodies within their respective boundaries and jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

For his part, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr. Samuel Abu Jinapor said transboundary river bodies remain under threat as a result of illegal small scale mining and explained further that government have put in place swift measures to address the menace.<\/p>\n

According to him, government have been waging relentless battle against illegal small scale mining and have rolled out policies and strategies to curb these clandestine activities, adding that illegal mining will be brought to a total end.<\/p>\n

The Minister for Water and Forestry of Cote d\u2019Ivoire Laurent Tchagba urged the two countries to find lasting solutions and curb illegal mining activities.<\/p>\n

He said Cote d\u2019Ivoire will fervently cooperate with Ghana to promote proper land and water resource management between the two countries, adding that issues in relations with destruction of forest lands and illegal mining must be addressed with a collective effort from both countries.<\/p>\n
