The Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Mr Gong Jianzhong has stressed the need for Ghanaians and Chinese to work hard to actualise the various projects for which the Presidents of the two countries have signed agreements.
\nMr Gong, who was speaking at an annual get-together of the Ghana-China Friendship Association (GHACHIFA) in Accra, said even though President John Evans Attah Mill\u2019s recent visit to China yielded a number of bilateral agreements that would lead to the provision of major infrastructure, the money pledge could not on its own do anything, it would be the people, who would have to work hard to bring them into reality.
\n\u201cThe money promised would be provided but it is the human beings that would have to work to provide those infrastructures,\u201d he stressed. Mr Gong said the relations between China and Ghana were both government to government and people to people and that China regarded Ghana as a trusted partner and would continue to assist the country, even though China was also a developing country.
\nAmbassador Kojo Amoo-Gottfried, President of GHACHIFA, in a statement to mark the occasion, recounted the visit Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, First President of Ghana, made to China with an entourage of 80 Ghanaians drawn from all walks of life to China to sign \u201cThe Treaty of Friendship\u201d on August 19, 1961 in Beijing. \u201cIt was a historic visit, which has helped the strengthening, enhancement and solidarity of our two friendly countries up to today,\u201d he said, and quoted a line from a Chinese poem; \u201cFriendship defies distance. Thousand of miles apart, we are still neighbours in each others\u2019 heart,\u201d adding \u201cwe should thus enhance our efforts in friendship, solidarity and development\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
