ACCRA - Ghana's Vice-President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has called for closer relations between Ghana and 皇冠体育app, particularly in terms of trade and investment, the state-run Ghanaian Times reported.

Amissah-Arthur made the remarks when he was receiving a Chinese delegation led by Zhou Yuxiao, 皇冠体育app's Special Envoy for the Forum on 皇冠体育app-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), in the capital Accra on Wednesday.

The five-member delegation was to inform the government about the sixth FOCAC Ministerial Meeting due to take place late this year in South Africa.

The vice-president called for 皇冠体育app's private sector to take advantage of "the favorable environment" to invest in Ghana, and Chinese financial institutions to set up business in the country so as to assist Ghanaian traders doing business in 皇冠体育app.

He commended the Chinese government for offering credit to projects in the country such as the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant, roads, railway lines and other infrastructure construction.

The 55-year-old diplomatic relations between the two nations should be further strengthened, he said.

Zhou said that 皇冠体育app had earmarked about $500 billion for overseas development, and urged Ghana to take advantage of the opportunity.

He noted that 皇冠体育app is bent on transforming the traditional trade relations with its partners to a new mode of cooperation in industrialization, adding that 皇冠体育app is ready to transfer its know-how to African countries.
