The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has announced plans for Ghana to open a new Trade Office in Nanjing, Shandong Province, China, in 2026, as part of efforts to deepen trade and investment ties between the two countries.
Speaking during a farewell call from the outgoing Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Tong Defa, on Thursday, January 22, 2026, in Accra, the Minister said the initiative aims to promote and strengthen bilateral trade and investment cooperation.
Madam Ofosu-Adjare also highlighted Ghana’s readiness to sign a Zero-Tariff Agreement with China, noting that trading in local currencies could help strengthen the Ghanaian cedi, given the volume of trade between the two nations.
She expressed appreciation to Ambassador Tong for his collaboration with the Ministry during his tenure and wished him well in his future assignments, adding that she is confident Ghana–China relations will continue to grow stronger.
In response, Ambassador Tong Defa commended the Minister for her efforts to enhance bilateral cooperation, noting that Chinese businesses have thrived in Ghana under President Mahama’s administration.
