英国驻加纳高级专员伊恩-沃克近日在与十四世托比·阿菲德阁下的会晤中指出，托比阁下所辖的沃尔塔地区将成为体育单车运动的天堂，该地区景点的丰富程度令人震惊，将以其独特的景观吸引海内外单车爱好者，并将大受专业单车运动员和游客的青睐。

这次会晤是上周五在沃克先生前往阿索戈里首府霍城（Ho）对十四世托比·阿菲德阁下（阿索戈里地区首领大酋长），及其他长老进行礼节拜访时发表的上述观点。

他说：“若是法国，这里绝对是单车爱好者的天堂。”

沃克先生对托比阁下为加纳体育事业的发展做出的承诺和努力表示由衷钦佩，认为其发展理念有助于加纳竞技足球和青少年足球机会的发展。

他说，英加两国几十年来一直保持紧密联系，沃尔塔地区的文化和壮丽景色是值得在旅游业长期考虑合作的领域。

托比阁下赞扬沃克先生为促进两国经济稳定发展，在安全、教育、卫生等领域开展的战略发展伙伴关系。他说，只要每位传统领导人团结友好，致力发展，加纳和非洲大陆的国家就可以取得更大成就。

十四世托比·阿菲德阁下对非洲传统领导联盟概念提出设想，希望实现更强大的大陆一体化，呼吁高级专员为其实现提供必要的支持。

在访问中，英国高级专员与当地单车俱乐部共同骑行，游览了阿达克鲁山。

Volta Region Can Become A Cycling Haven- British High Commissioner

Iain Walker, the British High Commissioner to Ghana, says the Volta Region has the potential to become a haven for sports cycling and serves as a pull factor for local and foreign enthusiasts due to its unique landscape.

He said the Region’s “astonishing” wealth of landscapes could make it popular for professional cyclists and tourists.

The High Commissioner made the observation when he paid a courtesy call on Togbe Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia of Asogli State and his elders in Ho on Friday.

“If this were to be France, it would have been a haven for cyclists,” he said.

Mr Walker commended Togbe Afede for his commitment to sports development, which helped to revive competitive football in the country and opportunities for the youth and children.

He said the two nations had sustained rigid bonds over the decades and added that the culture and spectacular landscape of the Volta Region were areas to be considered for long-term collaboration.

Togbe Afede commended the Commissioner for facilitating strategic development agreements and partnerships between both nations in areas of economic development and stability, security, education, health and inclusion.

He said Ghana and the countries on the African continent could achieve more if traditional leaders were united and committed to development.

Togbe Afede touted an African traditional leadership union concept he had envisioned towards a stronger continental integration and called on the High Commissioner to provide the needed support towards its realisation.

The British High Commissioner as part of the visit rode with the local cycling club and toured the Adaklu Mountain.
