Based on a shared commitment to development, the two countries bilateral commerce volume reached a height of US$9.57 billion in 2021, up from US$6.67 billion in 2017, according to Lu Kun, the Chinese ambassador to Ghana.
China's direct investment climbed by US$15 million, or 12 percent, over the previous year, making Ghana its biggest commercial partner in Africa.
At a durbar to commission a 22-km inner city road infrastructure in Cape Coast, which was supported by the Chinese government through a Sinohydro deal, the Chinese ambassador revealed this.
He credited the constant increase in trade and investments to both nations' efforts to take advantage of their long-standing connections as well as Ghanaians' strong desire for Chinese goods.
Dr Mohamudu Bawumia, Vice-President, and Mr Kwasi Amoako Atta, Minister of Roads and Highways, joined the chiefs of the Area to commission the road project intended to increase access to reduce traffic and speed up development.
The Ambassador, who is delighted by the growing commerce between China and Ghana, declared:
These are not just numbers, but a symbol of China-Ghana friendship we value and cherish.
The China-Ghana ties have been kept on a sound momentum of high-level bilateral exchanges and ever-increasing trust built on mutual strong conviction for development.
The decades of solid relations remain a springboard for a win-win China-Ghana cooperation hinged on consolidating bilateral traditional friendship, deepening pragmatic cooperation, and broad consensus building on issues of mutual concern, he stated.
According to the Chinese ambassador, China and Ghana have consistently stood by one another on matters involving their core and significant interests, maintaining tight coordination in the international and regional arena and preserving the partnership in the process.
Through that, according to Mr Kun, the Chinese government has supported, collaborated on, and carried out a number of crucial national initiatives related to Ghana's economic development and citizens' quality of life.
The National Theatre, the Foreign and Defense Ministry office buildings, the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ho, and the Cape Coast Sports Stadium are important examples of these.
Others include the Asogli Power Plant, Bui Dam, and Kpong Water Supply Expansion Project, as well as Africa World Airlines (AWA), all of which have been instrumental in addressing the sub-power region's constraint and fostering interconnectivity.
Recently, the pace of integration with local businesses and capital has been boosted by Chinese equipment and technology, creating numerous local star firms and igniting interest in Ghana's collaboration with China.
Regarding interpersonal interactions, he said that cultural exchanges were strong and steadily expanding in mutual understanding due to the high popularity of dance, music, and wood sculpting among Chinese visitors, among other types of tourism.
According to Mrs Justina Marigold Assan, the region's investment push to become the preferred investment location in the nation depends on the construction of roads.
She claimed that in Ghana's ongoing effort to entice investment from the Diaspora, the Region remained the most popular location.
