Premier Li Keqiang called on Saturday to promote cooperation in production capacity, human resources, agriculture and fishery with Ghana.

He spoke when meeting with the visiting Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo, who came to Beijing for a state visit and to participate in the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

Ghana is an influential nation in western Africa and a vital partner for China on the continent, Li said. President Xi Jinping held a productive meeting with Akufo-Addo to plan for the future development of bilateral relations, he said.

China would like to work with the African partner in consolidating the promising momentum for a comprehensive and fast development of bilateral cooperation, Li said.

Li also called on Ghana to improve its legislation and create a more fair environment for investment and businesses.

Akufo-Addo said Ghana has benefited a lot from its cooperation with China, and both countries have strongly promoted infrastructure, including highways, railways and telecommunications. Ghana is ready to sign a bilateral investment treaty with China as soon as possible to bring relations to a higher level, he added.
