China is willing to deepen cooperation and promote exchanges with Ghana to push for solid progress in developing their strategic partnership, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Monday.
Li made the remarks when meeting with Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, who was in Beijing for the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.
The traditional friendship between China and Ghana has stood the test of time, Li said during the meeting.
Noting that Chinese President Xi Jinping will have a meeting with Mahama to draw a new blueprint for further deepening bilateral relations, Li said China firmly supports Ghana in pursuing a development path suited to its national conditions, and is willing to continue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation with the African country, deepen collaboration in areas such as trade, infrastructure, and energy, and enhance people-to-people exchanges, so as to push for solid progress in advancing the China-Ghana strategic partnership.
China and Ghana, both important Global South countries, should strengthen coordination to promote collective efforts among nations in upholding multilateralism and free trade, said the Chinese premier.
Mahama said that Ghana is firmly committed to the one-China principle and looks forward to strengthening high-level exchanges with China to promote cooperation across various fields.
Ghana supports the Global Governance Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping, and is willing to deepen multilateral collaboration with China to uphold international fairness and justice, said Mahama.
