The Chinese new year is equally one of our important calendar activities, that is why we\u2019ve rolled out series of planned activities, including tonight\u2019s event to welcome the year of the Dragon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanbic Bank\u2019s relations with the Chinese community in Ghana has come a long way, just like the partnership between the Standard Bank Group and China\u2019s biggest bank ICBC. We take this opportunity to thank you all for your custom, and celebrate the growing, mutually-beneficial economic relationship between our two beautiful countries. I wish you all the very best of the year; good health, long life, strong family ties, more money, and good business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Dragon, per the Chinese Zodiac, is the only mythical and the most powerful creature of the 12-animal Chinese zodiac. This legendary magical beast is symbolic of authority, honour, dignity and unprecedented opportunities. The economic relationship between China and Africa, according Farihan Alhassan, is full of these incredible opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>One of the leaders of the Chinese community in Accra, Mr. Fan Tang, who\u2019s also the owner of Tang Palace Hotel where the gathering was held, thanked Stanbic Bank for the immense show of support towards Chinese businesses in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have enjoyed with appreciation, Stanbic bank\u2019s genuine interest in small and big Chinese owned enterprises operating in Ghana. I was explaining to my Chinese community how the partnership between Standard Bank and ICBC makes it easy for we Chinese to navigate the Africa-China trade terrain. From areas like energy, mining to agriculture, you have demonstrated more than enough commitment to see our businesses thrive. Thank you for always sticking with us, may the new year bring all of us good luck, strength and unending favour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Modern China celebrates the New Year twice a year: together with the rest of the world on January 1 and according to the Eastern calendar. This year\u2019s Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Spring Festival, started on Saturday, February 11, ending on Saturday, February 24, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>It is a significant and festive time in Chinese culture which sees a majority of the Chinese community travelling back to China to celebrate with families and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farihan Alhassan (second from right) and Fan Tang (third from right) with asection of the Chinese community in Ghana \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Stanbic Bank Ghana, a member of the Standard Bank Group, on Sunday, February 11, hosted the Chinese community in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":153850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-153849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
