Ghana’s envoy to China, Kojo Bonsu, gears up to host President Mahama for key meetings
Ghana’s Ambassador to China, Kojo Bonsu, will lead the staff of the Ghana Embassy in Beijing to welcome President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama for a three-day official visit to China beginning on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
The visit will feature the President’s participation in the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality, as well as a high-level bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The trip is expected to deepen Ghana-China relations through new trade, investment and development partnerships.
Ambassador Bonsu has been coordinating preparations for the visit, engaging Chinese officials and local partners to ensure a successful mission. “Information reaching me shows clearly that the Chinese government and the business community are interested in investing and doing business in Ghana, and as the Ambassador I am ready to champion this cause and secure meaningful partnership by making it possible to the benefit of the Ghanaian people,” he said.
During the visit, President Mahama will hold discussions with senior Chinese leaders including Premier Li Qiang and the Governor of Fujian Province, as well as executives of major Chinese corporations. The talks will focus on securing strategic investments in infrastructure, technology, agriculture, renewable energy and manufacturing.
President Mahama is also expected to visit Fuzhou in Fujian Province to meet with local industry players and explore new investment prospects for Ghana. His delegation will prioritise agreements that promote value addition in export sectors, local participation in infrastructure projects, technology transfer and skills development.
Accompanying business delegations from Ghana will seek joint ventures, industrial partnerships and supply-chain collaborations to position the country as a competitive hub for West African trade and manufacturing.
In addition, the visit will promote stronger cultural and educational cooperation between Ghana and China, including discussions on scholarships, vocational training, and collaboration in science, technology and healthcare.
Ambassador Bonsu said the engagements reaffirm Ghana’s commitment to attracting sustainable foreign direct investment and accelerating inclusive industrialisation. The Embassy in Beijing will provide updates as agreements and partnerships are finalised during the visit.
