China to set up broadcasting stations in Ghana

Accra, Sept. 4, GNA - Chinese Ambassador in Ghana, Mr. Yu Wenzhe on Tuesday expressed the intention of China to set up broadcasting stations in Accra and Kumasi to enable the government and people of Ghana to have first hand information on China.

He said information and the media played important roles in the world and noted that when given the opportunity the two countries would understand each other better and further strengthen bilateral relations. "We will closely and diligently support each other," Mr Yu told Mrs. Oboshie Sai-Cofie, Information and National Orientation Minister, when he paid a courtesy call on her in Accra.

He pledged his country's commitment to quality work within specified time frame on all projects being executed by Chinese firms in the country.

Citing the Bui Dam project, which is being handled by a Chinese company, he assured the Minister that the dam and other projects would be of good quality and excellence.

Mrs. Sai-Cofie said many projects in the country were being executed by the Chinese companies and noted that, this should be an opportunity for transfer of knowledge between the two countries. She also called for regular interactions with staff of the Embassy to share ideas and to deepen the relationship between the two countries. Mrs. Sai-Cofie also touched on the Bui Dam project and expressed the hope that all would go well and on schedule.
