Trade Volume between Ghana and China for 2015 hit six billion dollars, the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Ms Sun Baohong has said.

The Ambassador disclosed this during the inauguration of the Upper East branch of the Ghana –Chinese Friendship Association (GHACHIFA) in Bolgatanga.

She stated that not only did the China-Ghana Trade Volume increased historically, but the value of China’s newly signed engineering contracts in Ghana and the China investment inflows to the country ranked the highest in Africa.

“When you read newspapers you will find that a number of Ghanaian manufacturing enterprises use Chinese technology and advanced equipment to improve on their manufacturing capacity.

“I consider this phenomenon as a new trend in China-Ghana cooperation on industrial capacity cooperation, which has the great potential for further development,” she said.

Ms Sun commended the Regional Chapters of GHACHIFA in the Northern, Ashanti and Upper West Regions for supporting the Chinese Embassy last year, to organise activities such as Chinese Film Festival, Ghana –China Friendship Sports Games, and the China-Ghana Economic and Trade Forum to mark the 55th Anniversary of the establishment of the China-Ghana diplomatic relations.
