President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has lauded the Chinese for their immense contribution to Ghana’s economy.
According to President Akufo-Addo, he sees the Chinese as friends irrespective of how the West views the Asian giant.
In a new report released by the International Monetary Fund, it says the Chinese are likely to take hold of Ghana’s resources and power revenue as the West African cocoa producer has defaulted in paying some $1.9 billion owed to the People’s Republic of China.
Ghana’s total debt to China is climbing to about $5 billion and most of it has gone into roads and infrastructure projects.
Meanwhile, addressing congregations at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, Mr. Akufo-Addo stated: “I don’t have any criticisms about Chinese involvement in the Ghanaian economy”.
“They [Chinese] have been very helpful”, he praised, pointing out: “It’s a matter of controversy in the West”.
“For us”, the Ghanaian leader noted, “they have been friends, and, in terms of difficulty, they have proven to be a strong partner”.
