Former President and Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. John Dramani Mahama has paid a working visit to the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Shi Ting WANG to discuss matters of interest to the two countries.
The discussion was centered on the strong ties between the NDC and the Communist Party of China, and also the longstanding cordial relationship between Ghana and China.
Mr. John Mahama used the occasion to thank the Government and the People of China for their support to Ghana in many areas of the economy. This support, he said “led to the construction of various infrastructural projects including the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Atuabo Gas Processing Plant and scholarships to a number of Ghanaians to study critical development-oriented courses in China by the Chinese Government.”
Mr. Mahama also thanked the Ambassador for the support he had from the Chinese when he was the President of Ghana.
He assured Ambassador Shi Ting that his next administration will complete all projects started by the NDC government and at various points of completion but abandoned by this current government, including those funded by the Chinese government.
Former President Mahama was confidence that “Ghana and China will continue to enjoy a cordial relationship for the mutual benefit of our citizens.”
The two also discussed the issue of illegal mining by some Chinese nationals and how they can cooperate to effectively stop the practice.
Accompanied the former president were Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Senior members of the party, Ato Ahwoi, Kofi Totobi Quakyi, Kwame Peprah, Professor Kwamena Ahwoi and the Special Aide to the NDC Flagbearer Joyce Bawah Mogtari.
