Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Sun Baohong has witnessed the opening of a specialized China-Africa Desk at the Ghana News Agency (GNA) to promote the gathering and dissemination of news on both China and Africa.
The desk, launched in mid-March, will focus on trade between China and Africa, international relations, industry and all other fields of endeavor that promote the traditional friendship between the two sides in the spirit of a win-win partnership.
"I firmly believe that the establishment of China-Africa Desk at GNA will call on more people to walk in the direction of promoting friendship and understanding, and the path will become wider and wider," she said.
Bernard Otabil, General Manager of the GNA, said China was a beacon of hope; hope as to how we can in the south-south cooperation exploit the things that the Chinese had been able to do.
He said the GNA, established in 1957 by Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah, wanted to hold onto its status as "the news agency that promotes fairness, credibility and also equity".
The GNA has played a very significant role in the development of the media landscape not only in Ghana but also across the continent.
