Two Outgoing Ambassadors Honoured

Ghana on Tuesday honoured two ambassadors with the State Grand Medals, Honorary Division, for their tremendous contribution to the socio-economic development of the country.

Christian Nakonz, German Ambassador and Ms Kathryn Dee Robinson, United States Ambassador, would be leaving the country soon after completing their duty tours.

They were honoured for their contributions in education, health, agriculture, forestry, water supply, energy, transportation, sanitation and provision of infrastructure.

Each of them was presented with a scroll and decorated with medals by President John Agyekum Kufuor when they paid separate farewell calls on him at the State House in Accra.

President Kufuor said both of them, going on retirement, should continue their role as ambassadors of Ghana in their respective countries and project the good image of Ghana.

"You should continue in your leisure time to forge ahead and deepen the cordial relationship between Ghana and your countries for our mutual benefit."
