Officials Discuss Promotion of Iran, Ghana Religious Ties
In the meeting, Ipakchi and George Ossom-Batsa discussed development of religious cooperation between the two sides.
The Iranian cultural official introduced the activities of Iran’s Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) in the field of interfaith dialogue and described cooperation with Ghana in holding dialogue among religions as important.
He also hailed peaceful coexistence among followers of different religions in the African country.
Ossom-Batsa, for his part, stressed the importance of religious dialogue between Iran and Ghana.
Back in March, the two countries held an interfaith dialogue at the University of Ghana, Legon.
Islam is one of the major religions practiced widely in Ghana. Muslims make up around 20 percent of the West African country’s 27 million population. 41 percent of the population is Christian.
