The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has held a bilateral meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Tong Defa, to strengthen cooperation on road infrastructure development. 

The meeting, which took place on Thursday, was aimed at enhancing collaboration between Ghana and China in the area of road construction and maintenance.

According to a statement posted on the ministry’s official Facebook page on Friday, 14th February, the discussions centred on ongoing road projects that are either funded or constructed by Chinese companies. 

The engagement provided an opportunity for both parties to assess the progress of these projects and explore ways to improve efficiency and quality in road construction across the country.

Beyond ongoing projects, the Minister and the Ambassador also explored potential areas for future collaboration. Key among them were the development of smart highways, the introduction of innovative construction technologies, and sustainable maintenance strategies for existing road infrastructure. 

These discussions are expected to lay the foundation for more advanced and resilient road networks in Ghana.

The meeting reflects Ghana’s commitment to strengthening international partnerships to improve its road sector. 

With road infrastructure playing a crucial role in economic growth and national development, the collaboration between Ghana and China is anticipated to bring significant improvements in connectivity, trade, and transportation efficiency.
