This 0% tariff on 100% of goods from Ghana and other African countries will bolster trade, create jobs and produce more Ghanaian entrepreneurs.
We also discussed new industrial projects in line with President Mahama’s vision including exploiting our bauxite for an integrated aluminium industry powered by modern rail infrastructure.
Our bilateral engagement on the sidelines of the ongoing China-Africa summit in Changsha China, further agreed to work towards establishing an electric car manufacturing plant in Ghana anchored on Ghana’s strategic lithium deposits.
Ghana and China will soon sign a special Economic Partnership Agreement to concretise our mutually beneficial partnership.
President Mahama’s administration is firmly committed to leveraging diplomacy for the transformation of our dear country.
Kwame Nkrumah and Chairman Mao will be proud of what Ghana 🇬🇭 China 🇨🇳 relations has achieved 65 years after they laid the foundation”.
