Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Tong Defa, has thrown his support behind the Government\u2019s 24-Hour Economy initiative, calling on Chinese enterprises to establish manufacturing bases in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He appealed during an interactive session with media fellows participating in the Ghana-China Media Fellowship 2025, organised by the Africa-China Centre for Policy and Advisory (ACCPA). The discussion centred on economic cooperation, industrial transformation, and sustainable development within the Ghana-China partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Tong emphasised that localising manufacturing in Ghana aligns with broader China-Africa cooperation frameworks such as the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). He noted that China\u2019s evolving economic engagement now prioritises industrialisation, value addition, and job creation in host countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China remains one of Ghana\u2019s leading trade and investment partners. The ambassador called for increased Chinese manufacturing ventures to bolster Ghana\u2019s industrial policy objectives and strengthen economic integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched earlier in 2025, Ghana\u2019s 24-Hour Economy initiative aims to boost productivity, create jobs, and increase exports by promoting continuous operations in key sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, energy, and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ghana-China Media Fellowship seeks to enhance media understanding of bilateral relations, and the ambassador\u2019s engagement offered participants valuable insights into how diplomacy and enterprise can drive shared development priorities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
