President John Dramani Mahama has praised China\u2019s longstanding support for Africa, highlighting the Asian nation\u2019s solidarity with developing countries as a key factor in boosting Ghana\u2019s economic transformation. <\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) on Friday, Mahama described China as \u201ca friend\u201d whose partnership has helped Africa invest in transformative infrastructure and advance its development agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina has maintained a solidarity with all developing countries and identifies itself strongly with the global south\u2026 China has stepped forward,\u201d he said, citing projects like highways, power plants, and transmission lines that would have been difficult to undertake without Chinese assistance. <\/p>\n

Mahama also noted that China has consistently supported Africa\u2019s bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, reinforcing the alignment of their global interests.<\/p>\n

The interview comes as Ghana and China mark 65 years of diplomatic ties, reflecting on opportunities for deeper cooperation in trade, industrialisation, infrastructure, and vocational training. <\/p>\n

Discussions on CGTN\u2019s Leaders Talk<\/em>, hosted by Wang Guan, explored the potential of a zero-tariff trade agreement and China\u2019s proposed Global Governance Initiative, which seeks to enhance development cooperation amid shifting global geopolitics.<\/p>\n

Mahama emphasised that Ghana\u2019s collaboration with China is not only about investment in physical infrastructure but also about aligning economic and social development priorities. <\/p>\n

He noted that such partnerships could accelerate Ghana\u2019s journey toward full modernisation while strengthening Africa\u2019s collective bargaining power on the global stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
