Ghana has secured a new international partnership under its 24-Hour Economy Agenda following high-level engagements in China, officials said on Tuesday.
The agreement comes after President John Dramani Mahama’s official state visit to China last year at the invitation of President Xi Jinping. A government delegation led by the Presidential Advisor to the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat, Augustus Tanoh, has since concluded strategic talks in Beijing aimed at expanding economic and cultural cooperation.
As part of the engagements, an MoU was signed on Tuesday at Beijing Language and Culture University through the initiative of the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie. The agreement is designed to deepen collaboration between Ghana and China in tourism, arts, culture, festivals, film, music and culinary heritage.
The partnership also secures an international exhibition for Ghana in Beijing scheduled for March 2026, providing a platform to showcase the country’s creative and cultural assets to a global audience.
In addition, the MoU paves the way for the establishment of a Ghana–China Research Institute for Tourism, Arts and Culture, aimed at promoting research, innovation and long-term cooperation between the two countries.
