The Chief of Staff at the presidency, Mr Julius Debrah, has encouraged Chinese manufacturers to leverage Ghana’s strategic advantages and 24-Hour Economy agenda.
The occasion was when he welcomed a high-powered Chinese investor delegation comprising state-owned enterprises and private conglomerates participating in the Ghana-China Business Summit 2025, last week Thursday.
Representing H.E. John Dramani Mahama, Mr. Julius Debrah said the Ghana-China Business Summit 2025 was a new Era of Economic Cooperation.
“We invite Chinese investors to tap into Ghana’s unique opportunities and make our country a true industrial hub for Africa.
“Our 24-Hour Economy agenda is designed to create conducive business environment, foster innovation and drive economic growth,” he said.
He said, as Ghana continues to implement its 24-Hour Economy agenda, the country is poised to become a major economic hub in Africa, adding the government’s commitment to creating a favourable business environment, coupled with its strategic location and natural resources makes Ghana an attractive destination for investors.
According to the Chief of Staff, the visit by the Chinese investor delegation was a testament to the growing interest in Ghana’s economic potential and hoped that the Ghana–China Business Summit 2025 would play a pivotal role in shaping the future of economic cooperation between the two nations.
The delegation leader, Mr. Chen Xiaowei, praised Ghana’s economic potentials, hailing the country as “the China of Africa in the making.”
He emphasised the need for stronger institutional support for investors, calling for collaborative efforts to facilitate a seamless business environment.
“This summit marks a significant milestone in our economic cooperation. We are committed to deepening our partnership with Ghana and exploring new avenues for mutual benefit.”
The Ghana–China Business Summit 2025 aims to strengthen economic ties between the two nations, promote trade, and attract investments.
The summit provides a platform for Ghanaian and Chinese businesses to engage in meaningful dialogue, share ideas and forge strategic partnerships.
