Ghana’s largest trading partner is China, and it remains a significant source of foreign investment, as stated by the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Lu Kun.
Bilateral trade volume reached an unprecedented high of US$10 Billion, increasing by 7.3 per cent year-on-year.
China has been Africa’s largest trading partner for 13 consecutive years.
During the donation of relief items to flood disaster victims in the Volta region, Ambassador Lu Kun highlighted China’s commitment to improving Ghana’s economy and the well-being of its people.
He mentioned various efforts and activities, including China’s involvement in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) arrangement, investment in various sectors, and support for infrastructure projects.
Ghana was among the first countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to establish diplomatic relations with China, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, China was quick to provide medical supplies to Africa, with Ghana as one of the recipients.
China and Africa have long-standing ties, supporting each other’s national independence and development.
Mr. Stephen Ayensu Ntim, the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), acknowledged the strong ties between Ghana and China, strengthened by the NPP-Communist Party alliance for progress.
