Chinese Entrepreneurs, University Delegation Explore Industrial Park Investment in Ghana
A seven-member delegation of Chinese entrepreneurs and representatives from Zhenjiang Gongshang University has called on the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry to explore deeper business collaboration and investment opportunities between Ghana and China.
The delegation visited the Ministry in Accra on Monday, July 27, 2026, and was led by Professor Haoxing Zhao, Dean of the China-Africa Economic and Trade Research Institute and founder of China-Africa Bridge.
Prof. Zhao said the visit was aimed at strengthening trade relations between the two countries and promoting partnerships between Chinese enterprises, universities and Ghanaian institutions.
He noted that the delegation is interested in working with Ghana to establish an industrial park that would support manufacturing, education and entrepreneurship development.
Receiving the delegation on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Sampson Ahi, described the visit as a reflection of the long-standing relationship between Ghana and China.
He said the two countries have maintained close relations for 66 years, and that the government remains committed to deepening bilateral cooperation with China.
Hon. Ahi also commended the Chinese government’s zero-tariff initiative, which he said would provide Ghanaian businesses with greater opportunities to access the Chinese market.
He emphasised Ghana’s strategic position as host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, describing the country as an important gateway to the wider African market.
“Your investment will be protected. We are ready for business, and we will support you as a government,” he assured the delegation.
The visit forms part of ongoing Ghana-China cooperation initiatives, including the “Ghana Day” event held in Hangzhou and the establishment of the Ghana-Hangzhou Economic and Trade Centre, which seeks to connect Ghanaian products, businesses and innovative initiatives with the Chinese market.
