Kumasi City Mayor Richard Ofori-Agyeman Boadi has appealed to Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Tong Defa, to woo more Chinese investors to Kumasi.
Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region, is recognized as a major business, cultural, and economic hub in Ghana due to its geographical connectivity to most regions in the country.
With vast lands, forests, mineral resources, cultural, and tourism potential in the region, the Mayor believes setting up a business in Kumasi has the potential to flourish.
In a closed-door meeting with the Chinese Ambassador in Kumasi on Friday, May 23, 2025, the conversation focused on attracting Chinese investors for mutual benefits.
H.E. Tong Defa is in Kumasi at the invitation of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, to participate in the Art Awards organized by the Manhyia Palace Museum in collaboration with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
The Mayor of Kumasi informed the Chinese Ambassador about the “Kumasi Business Connect” slated to take place from November 7-9, 2025.
The business event is expected to draw several hundred individuals and groups within the business ecosystem both local and international to Kumasi.
