Mr Féher was speaking to the Ghanaian Times in an exclusive interview last week Monday in his office.

He thus, invited more Hungarian companies to invest in the Ghanaian economy, noting that Ghana was a preferred business destination.

The Hungarian, who began his duty tour in September, said the two countries had enjoyed good diplomatic relationship dating back to 1961.

Mr Fehér told the Times that Ghana was a beacon of democracy and urged other African countries to emulate Ghana’s good example.

He said a Hungarian security printing company called ANY is currently providing expertise to the Ghana Immigration Service and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) for production of biometric passport and driver’s license.

Mr Fehér arrived in Ghana on September 1 and began his duty tour afterwards.

He is also the Ambassador to Senegal, The Gambia, Togo, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d’ivoire and Guinea.
