Chinese Foreign Minister to visit Ghana to strengthen ties

China has announced that its Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Ghana and three other African countries this month.

The Chinese diplomat will travel to Ghana, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Senegal from January 6 to 11, 2014.

Mr Yi is expected to meet his Ghanaian counterpart Ms Hannah Tetteh when he arrives in Accra but the exact date is not known.

During his visit, China says Mr Wang Yi will have an in-depth exchange of views with leaders and foreign ministers of the host countries on bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues of common interest.

His visit will also build up friendship, mutual trust and cooperation ahead with China’s bilateral relations with Ghana and the other three countries.
