China's Embassy hosted a diplomatic reception Friday in Accra marking two significant anniversaries. The celebration honored 76 years since the People's Republic of China was established and 65 years of bilateral friendship between the nations. Ghana's Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang attended the ceremony alongside Chinese Ambassador Tong Defa and other officials. The gathering featured cultural performances and brought together government representatives, diplomats and community members.
Ambassador Defa emphasized China's position as Ghana's largest trading partner during his remarks. The diplomatic relationship advanced to Strategic Partnership status in 2024, creating opportunities for expanded cooperation. Ghana became one of Africa's first countries to recognize China after establishing ties in July 1960. The partnership traces back to friendship between President Kwame Nkrumah and Chairman Mao Zedong.
