Ghana-China Deepen Relations as Chief of Staff Hosts High-level Chinese Delegation

Accra, Ghana//-The Office of the Chief of Staff has hosted a high-powered delegation of Chinese investors participating in the ongoing Ghana–China Business Summit 2025, in a major boost for Ghana’s international investment drive 

The summit, organised in collaboration with the Sino-Africa Group, underscores a renewed commitment to economic partnership between the two countries.

Representing H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah welcomed the delegation at Jubilee House and called on Chinese manufacturers to seize Ghana’s strategic advantages—its geographic position, political stability, and ambitious 24-Hour Economy Agenda—to make the country a leading hub for African industrialisation.

“This is more than trade; it’s a partnership for shared transformation. Ghana is building a future-ready economy, and China’s industrial leadership can be a cornerstone in that journey,” Debrah told the delegation.

The Chinese team was led by Mr. Chen Xiaowei, who praised Ghana’s forward-thinking policies and economic climate, calling the country “the China of Africa in the making.” He urged both governments to enhance institutional cooperation to attract and sustain long-term investment confidence.

The Ghana-China Business Summit 2025 marks a pivotal moment in bilateral relations, positioning Ghana as a gateway to Africa for global investors. The summit attracted a wide range of Chinese business leaders, industrialists, and policy influencers.

Delivering a keynote at the summit, Minister in Charge of Presidential Special Initiatives, Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, laid out Ghana’s investment roadmap, emphasising the country’s readiness to support large-scale industrial collaboration.

“Ghana is not open for charity. Ghana is open for access,” Agyekum declared. “We offer a politically stable, investment-ready climate and access to over 400 million consumers in the ECOWAS region.”

He also highlighted Ghana’s $100 billion ‘Big Push’ agenda, which includes investments in manufacturing, logistics, energy, and national infrastructure—all designed to underpin the 24-Hour Economy, launching officially on July 1st.
