Ghana’s Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, *Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare*, has reiterated the government’s commitment to strengthening economic ties with China, aimed at accelerating industrial growth and investment under President John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda. Speaking at the Ghana-China Presidential Investment Forum in Beijing, *Hon. Ofosu-Adjare* emphasized China’s strategic role in Ghana’s economic transformation journey, citing mutual trust, shared prosperity, and cooperation in key sectors like infrastructure, energy, and industrial development.
The Minister highlighted Ghana’s renewed economic momentum, driven by President Mahama’s visionary leadership and the “Resetting Ghana” agenda. This agenda positions Ghana as one of Africa’s most competitive and investor-friendly destinations, with a focus on local raw material production, value addition, and strategic industry investments.
Ghana’s partnership with China has yielded significant benefits, including investments from leading Chinese companies like GreenHouse Group, Sentuo Group, Zonda Tec Ghana, and Sunda International. The Minister welcomed China’s recent zero-tariff treatment for African countries, creating export opportunities for Ghanaian products. Ghana offers access to its growing domestic market, the 400 million-strong ECOWAS region, and the $3.4 trillion African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Hon. Ofosu-Adjare invited Chinese investors to partner with Ghana in advancing industrialization, skills development, and technology transfer, assuring them of a transparent and competitive investment climate with robust support systems. “Ghana is ready to host your businesses, facilitate your success, and partner with you in resetting our nation, creating industries, jobs, and prosperity that will endure.
