President John Dramani Mahama has said that Ghana is looking forward to finalising discussions with China on the zero-tariff policy by the end of October.
According to Mr. Mahama, China is excited about Ghana’s 24-hour economy initiative and Green Transition policy and is positioning itself to partner with the government and the Ghanaian business sector.
As part of the bilateral discussion, President Mahama in a Facebook post on Thursday, October 16, 2025, disclosed the two leaders also talked about measures to ensure responsible and licensed small-scale mining in Ghana, while the business communities explore the many opportunities for trade and investment.
The president led a high-powered delegation to China to participate in a Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women.
Hosted by President Xi Jinping and UN Women, the 13 and 14 October meeting brought together other world leaders to “renew the spirit of the Beijing Declaration and accelerate its implementation.”
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, organised by the UN and held in Beijing.
”China, during my bilateral talks with President Xi Jinping, confirmed an additional grant of 200 million RMD to Ghana, in addition to an earlier grant of 200 million RMD for the construction of the proposed Aflao Market and renovation of the National Theatre in Accra.
The Aflao market will be an important trading platform linking Ghana and Togo, and key to our #ResettingGhana Agenda” he announced.
He further gave an assurance of Ghana’s commitment to the One China Policy and to continue collaboration towards a new Global System of Governance being spearheaded by him.
