Ghana could make huge gains, if it positions itself well enough and makes good use of its current good relations with China.
“With a lot more focus, Ghana stands to gain immensely from China. We should build well on the relationship and understand what each other want.”
Dr. Benjamin Anyagri, General Secretary of the Ghana China Friendship Association (GHACHIFA), said this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
He said whilst China was already assisting Ghana in several areas of national endeavour such as construction, education, trade, etc, it was important for Ghana on its part, to ensure that the Chinese faced no impediment in their dealings.
Dr. Anyagri said organizations such as the Ghana Investment and Promotion Centre (GIPC) could identify and correct any cumbersome procedures that could for example, frustrate Chinese businessmen who were in the country for business collaborations and transactions.
He said a sensitive and patriotic customer care approach for example, was most needed to ensure, that Chinese business partners of Ghana went through the needed procedures with some good measure of ease.
Dr. Anyagri said there was the need for certain initiatives to be developed, which would ensure that dealings between Ghana and China was done the right way.
He said a Ghana-China Trade Desk for example, could be set up to ensure smooth trade between the two countries and ensure that all setbacks were effectively dealt with.
Dr. Anyagri said GHACHIFA sought to ensure that agreements between the two countries were successfully carried out.
“GHACHIFA’s role is to be an advocacy group to ensure, that Ghanaians at the grass root level gain from Ghana-China relations. “
He said GHACHIFA was placing itself to ensure, that agreements between the two countries were followed through with and also, held gain for all those who stood to benefit from them.
