Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced plans for electric car factories using Ghana lithium resources. China wants to build manufacturing plants that create jobs across the country. The deal came after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during the Africa summit. Leaders from both nations discussed ways to expand business partnerships through new projects. Ghana holds large amounts of lithium that companies need for electric vehicle batteries.
Officials also talked about aluminum factories that would use Ghana bauxite deposits for production. Modern trains would carry materials between mining sites and processing centers. President John Mahama supports these industrial development plans for economic growth. The aluminum project connects to railway building efforts across West Africa. Both countries see opportunities to profit from natural resource partnerships.
China removed all taxes on goods shipped from Ghana to boost trade between nations. The zero tariff policy covers every product that Ghana businesses export overseas. Trade between the countries reached eleven billion dollars last year making China the top partner. African nations receive the same tax-free treatment for their exports to Chinese markets. Ghana and China will sign a special agreement that makes their business relationship official.
