President John Dramani Mahama has announced that China has committed an additional grant of 200 million RMB to Ghana.
This builds on an earlier grant of 200 million RMB intended for the construction of the proposed Aflao Market and the renovation of the National Theatre in Accra.
According to President Mahama, the Aflao Market is expected to become a vital trading hub linking Ghana and Togo, aligning with his broader “Resetting Ghana” agenda.
He also revealed that Ghana aims to finalise a Zero Tariff Policy with China by the end of October.
Other topics discussed during the meeting with President Xi Jinping included strengthening regulation of small-scale mining to ensure operations are responsible and licenced, and expanding trade and investment opportunities for Ghana’s business sector.
China has expressed interest in supporting Ghana’s 24‑hour economy initiative and its Green Transition policy, positioning itself as a partner for government and private enterprise.
President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to the One China Policy and expressed eagerness to continue bilateral collaboration under what he called a new era of global governance.
