Flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has conferred with the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Shi Ting Wang.

The former Ghanaian president who is seeking reelection in the upcoming 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections discussed issues of bilateral relations between Ghana and China.

President Mahama noted the strong ties between the NDC and the Communist Party of China, and thanked the Government and People of China for the support that “led to the construction of various infrastructural projects including the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Atuabo Gas Processing Plant and Chinese government scholarships to a record number of Ghanaians to study critical development-oriented courses in China.”

The former President also thanked the Ambassador for China’s support during his presidency.

He also assured the Ambassador that the next NDC administration will complete all abandoned projects across the country, including those initiated through Chinese funding.

Mr. Mahama expressed optimism that, “Ghana and China will continue to enjoy a cordial relationship for the mutual benefit of our citizens.”

The two parties also recalled the warm relations and longstanding cooperation between Ghana and China.

They also discussed the menace of illegal mining and how they can cooperate to effectively stop the practice.

Present at the meeting was the Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Senior members of the party, Ato Ahwoi, Kofi Totobi Quakyi, Kwame Peprah, Professor Kwamena Ahwoi and the Special Aide to the NDC Flagbearer Joyce Bawah Mogtari.
