Chinese President Xi Jinping is sending his special envoy to represent China at the inauguration of Ghana’s newly elected president, John Dramani Mahama. The announcement, made by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday, underscores the strengthening ties between China and Ghana.
Hao Mingjin, vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, will lead the Chinese delegation to the inauguration ceremony scheduled for January 7 in Accra, Ghana’s vibrant capital. This event marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s democratic journey and highlights China’s ongoing commitment to fostering diplomatic relationships across Africa.
Mahama was declared the winner of Ghana’s presidential election by the Electoral Commission of Ghana on December 9, 2024. His victory signifies a continuation of policies aimed at economic growth and regional cooperation—areas where China has actively engaged with Ghana through various initiatives and investments.
The longstanding partnership between China and Ghana is characterized by mutual respect and collaboration in sectors such as infrastructure, trade, and education. The presence of President Xi’s special envoy at the inauguration signifies China’s support for Ghana’s leadership and its interest in elevating bilateral relations to new heights.
