 North Dakota marks 10 years of partnering with Ghana By Chief Warrant Officer 3 Kiel Skager
                Joint Force Headquarters
 ACCRA, GHANA - A  small North Dakota delegation, led by Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley and Maj. Gen. David  Sprynczynatyk, adjutant general for the North Dakota National Guard, visited  senior government and military officials in Accra, Ghana, West Africa on a  dual-purpose mission. Part of the week-long visit  consisted of a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the National Guard Bureau's  State Partnership Program (SPP). During the ceremony, both Wrigley and  Sprynczynatyk spoke to a capacity crowd regarding the milestones, achievements  and future potential of the SPP. They were joined with  Ghanaian speakers including Minister of  Defence Mark Owen Woyongo; Ghana  Armed Forces Chief of Defence Staff Vice Adm. Mathew  Quashie and Director of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Kofi  Portuphy. During his speech, Wrigley  said, "This endeavor began 10 years ago as a military partnership and has  spread to healthcare, business and economic partnerships. Later this month,  another delegation will visit from North Dakota that will bring experts in the  fields of industry, trade and agriculture. They will reach out to the people of  Ghana in an effort to enhance the value to this State Partnership  Program." The North Dakota delegation also  met with several senior government leaders in Ghana. The purpose of the meetings was  to engage in dialog surrounding military-to-military partnerships and missions,  as well as discussing the potential for civilian-to-civilian and  business-to-business partnerships. Discussions covered such  topics as international trade, economic growth and stability, agriculture  research and development, and technologies surrounding the response to  disasters. During the meeting with the minister  of defence, Sprynczynatyk said, "What we have been able to put in place  over that last ten years has been very, very good and we appreciate the  exchanges that have taken place in Ghana and in North Dakota as well. As we  look to the future, we continue to see more opportunity. Our values, especially  patriotism, are very much the same."
