The high-level gathering drew more than 500 participants, including officials from government departments, CEOs of multinational companies, representatives of international organizations, financial institutions, and members of the African business community, including the China Africa Development Fund (CADFund).
The dialogue was a platform to deepen cooperation between African and Chinese businesses, with a sharp focus on green energy and financial innovation as pivotal drivers of economic development on the continent.

Cao Zhiqiang, Vice Governor of People’s Government of Hunan Province, Mr. Joseph Olasunkanmi, Director General, Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, Miss.

In her keynote address, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare revealed Ghana’s unique investment appeal, citing the country’s stable political environment, rule of law, and strategic location at the center of the world making it an ideal gateway to the global market.
She disclosed that Ghana has continued to attract major Chinese investments, with companies such as Zonda Sinotruk, Sunda, Keda, Sentuo, Sunon Asogli, and Huawei becoming household names. She called on potential investors to take advantage of Ghana’s flagship 24-hour economy policy, aimed at boosting productivity and economic resilience.
“Ghana stands out as a beacon of political stability, respect for the rule of law, and a strategic hub at the center of the world, the perfect entry point for investors seeking to reach global markets.
Names like Zonda, Sunda, Keda, and Huawei have become part of our local economy, a testament to the confidence the Chinese private sector has in Ghana. We welcome even more partners to leverage our 24-hour economy policy for shared growth.” She said.
The Member of Parliament for Techiman North also made a broader case for the African continent, pointing out that Africa is projected to be the world’s second-fastest growing economy in 2025, with 40 countries, including Ghana, expected to post growth rates higher than in 2023.
