Ghana’s Ambassador to China, Kojo Bonsu, has been widely praised for his exceptional organisational skills during President John Dramani Mahama’s state visit to China.

Barely three weeks into his tenure, Ambassador Bonsu, together with his embassy team and officials from the Foreign Affairs Ministry, led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, successfully coordinated the high-profile visit.

The visit included a Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality, an official meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the Ghana Investment Forum, reflecting the strong bilateral relations between the two countries.

During the trip, President Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama were warmly received in Beijing, where they met embassy staff, Ghanaian students, and business leaders residing in China.

Ambassador Bonsu ensured smooth coordination throughout the various engagements.

President Mahama participated in the Global Leaders’ Summit and held business meetings with several Chinese investors, while the Ghana Investment Forum showcased the country’s investment potential.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Council, Simon Majie, highlighted opportunities across various sectors, while ministers reiterated the government’s commitment to fostering a conducive business environment.

The final leg of the visit saw President Mahama travelling to Fujian Province to visit industries in Fuzhou and engage with potential investors interested in Ghana’s manufacturing sector.

Ambassador Bonsu expressed his commitment to deepening Ghana-China relations, particularly in areas of health, education, renewable energy, transportation, and agriculture.

“I am fully committed to strengthening business, trade, and investments between our countries,” he said.

The successful state visit has been hailed as a milestone in Ghana-China relations, with Ambassador Bonsu’s leadership and coordination earning widespread commendation.
