Ghana and the People’s Republic of China established diplomatic relations on 5th July, 1960. On 23rd August, 1961, Ghana and China signed the Friendship Treaty which affirmed the close bilateral ties between the two countries and established the foundation for practical cooperation as well as the emergence of Afro-Asia solidarity that became strategic in the prosecution of the decolonization, peace and development agenda of small developing countries at the time.
The Friendship Treaty was also aimed at creating a model for mutual economic, social and political development as well as to contribute towards the stability of Ghana and, by extension, other newly independent African countries.
Ghana’s active co-operation with China also reflects the consistency with which it had followed the “One China Two Systems” policy by China with respect to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Ghana also fully supported the People’s Republic of China to retain its United Nations seat in 1971.
