Ghana needs to work closer with China, other partners – Mahama

Ghana’s flagbearer-election, John Dramani Mahama has stressed that the country needs to work closer with its partners including China.

The incoming President shared the position on Thursday, December 13, following a meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Tong Dfea.

The Ambassador paid a courtesy call on the elected president to congratulate him on his victory in the December 7 polls.

“Relations between our two countries have been defined over the years by cooperation since the period of our first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

“We know that Sino-Hydro is financing various projects. Unfortunately, the debt default has affected Ghana’s credit rating. By stabilising the currency, we will work to restore the economy, boost economic growth, and bring down inflation.

“Ghana needs to work even closer with its partners, including China,” John Dramani Mahama said in a post on X.

According to Ghana’s President-elect, his incoming NDC Government will engage China on technical cooperation issues and how Ghana can continue to benefit from the FOCAC disbursement.

“Once we complete the transition, we’ll begin engaging with China on technical cooperation issues and how Ghana can continue to benefit from the FOCAC disbursement and the Belt and Road Initiative,” John Dramani Mahama said.
