Speaker Adjaho, acknowledged the relationship between Ghana and China and there is the need to deepen the bilateral ties.
He said Ghana had remained a true partner of China over the years and had supported China’s bid to remain a member of the United Nations Security Council, adding that, Ghana would continue to support the "One China" Policy.
Chairman Yu, for his part, said he was overwhelmed by the considerable progress Ghana had made over time in the areas of economy and governance, and also emphasised the need to deepen the ties.
