Historic Partners Gear Up for New Chapter
Chinese President Xi Jinping has extended warm congratulations to John Dramani Mahama following his election as Ghana's next leader, calling the West African nation a 'strategic partner' and celebrating 63 years of diplomatic ties.
From Gold Coast to Golden Opportunities
Xi highlighted that Ghana was among the first sub-Saharan African countries to establish relations with China in 1960. The two nations have since collaborated on infrastructure, trade, and tech projects – like the viral #ChinaGhanaChocolateCollab that boosted cocoa exports last year.
\"Bridge Builders, Not Just Traders\"
The Chinese leader emphasized plans to deepen political trust and economic cooperation, stating: \"Our friendship isn't just about shared history – it's about creating shared futures.\" Analysts predict increased investment in Ghana's renewable energy sector, which grew 22% last quarter.
