President Xi Jinping met his Ghanian counterpart who was China for state visit and to attend the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Ghana. The China-Ghana friendship was jointly fostered by the older generation of leaders of the two countries and has been growing from strength to strength.
According to president Xi, China firmly supports Ghana in pursuing a path toward modernization suited to its national conditions, and is ready to work with Ghana to take cooperation in various fields to a higher level and make greater contributions to jointly building the all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era.
Also,during his meeting with the Chinese Premier Li Qiang, President Mahama urged nations, which share common values and interests to unite in the face of global trade challenges.
Mahama’s remark came on the heels of Ghana being hit with 15 per cent tariff on its exports to the United States by US President Donald Trump on July 31, to address what he referred to as a national emergency due to persistent trade deficits. President Mahama also reiterated the importance of forging partnership between countries with mutual interests, such as China and Ghana to address economic challenges and promote fairer trade practices.
