Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing held talks with his
Ghanaian counterpart Nana Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday.
The two foreign ministers agreed to make joint efforts to
strengthen bilateral relations and cooperation.
Noting that Ghana is one of the earliest African countries south
of the Sahara Desert to establish diplomatic ties with China, Li
said bilateral relations between the two countries have been
developing smoothly.
There have also been closer bilateral exchanges at all levels
and cooperation in various fields, he added.
Li praised bilateral cooperation in telecommunications,
infrastructure and human resources development, saying cooperation
in these fields has been fruitful.
China attaches great importance to developing relations with
Ghana and appreciates its position of sticking to the one-China
policy, Li said.
Akufo-Addo echoed Li's views on bilateral ties. He said the
Ghanaian government will continue to adhere to the one-China policy
and support China's reunification.
The two sides also exchanged views on the situation in Africa,
the reform of United Nations and other issues of common
concern.
Akufo-Addo is in Beijing for an official visit to China from
June 5 to 8 at the invitation of Li.
