According to him, Ghana's central location and host to the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat put it in a prime position to be the top investment destination as well as a gateway to other African, European, and American markets.

The Minister made the call while on an official visit to China, where he highlighted Ghana's concerted efforts to enhance entrepreneurial skills for both local and foreign investors.

He asked the Chinese business community to work with Ghana to explore new opportunities for economic cooperation to deepen commercial ties between the two countries.

Mr Hammond said that opportunities were abundant in manufacturing, textile, automotive, industrial parks, e- commerce, ICT, mining, energy, agriculture, and indicated Ghana's readiness to collaborate with others for mutual benefits.
