Recently, the China-Ghana Economic and Trade Cooperation Project Promotion Conference and the Inauguration Ceremony of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre China Liaison Office were held in Changsha. At the ceremony, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), the China-Africa Economic and Trade Promotion Council (CAETPC), and the International Association for Popular Cooperation (IAPC) signed a memorandum of understanding on deepening collaboration in key areas, including the development of the Volta Lake Economic Corridor and the construction of industrial parks. 

At the event, Augustus Obuadum Tanoh, presidential adviser and head of Ghana's 24H+ Secretariat, outlined the core vision and implementation approaches of Ghana's 24-Hour Economy strategy. He noted that Chinese enterprises possess advanced expertise in engineering contracting, equity investment, and operational management, making them vital partners for Ghana's economic transformation. The signing of this memorandum will establish a structured cooperative channel for Chinese enterprises to engage with the 24H+ Secretariat and to participate in Ghana's development.

Following over ten rounds of bilateral research and exchanges, this promotion conference launched 14 cooperative projects with a total investment worth 3.3 billion USD. Covering multiple sectors including agricultural modernization, healthcare, the gold industry chain, and industrial parks for building materials, these initiatives aim to establish replicable and scalable models for China-Africa economic and trade cooperation. The "2026 Ghana Investment Project Portfolio," was released at the event, providing investors with detailed information on these full-industry-chain projects, including investment returns and cooperation models. The portfolio spans multiple sectors such as financial services, headquarters economy, modern agriculture, industrial upgrading, and public welfare infrastructure.

"Since its inception, the CAETPC has prioritized Ghana as a key partner in Africa for cooperation. Existing projects can be integrated into Ghana's 24-Hour Economy strategy as priority initiatives to jointly advance their implementation," said CAETPC President Xu Xiangping.

Following its inauguration, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre China Liaison Office will serve as an information hub and a bridge for economic and trade cooperation. The office will respond swiftly to the needs of Chinese enterprises, facilitate coordination with Ghanaian government agencies as well as local partners, and accelerate the implementation of cooperative projects.
