ACCRA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Ghana's First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo will arrive in China on Monday for an eight-day visit aimed at enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries, her office said in a release received here late Sunday.
The first lady's trip follows that of Ghana's Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to China and the subsequent visit to Ghana by China's Vice Minister of Commerce Qian Keming in September this year.
During the visit, she will open the first Ghana Trade and Investment office in Qingdao, a port city in east China's Shandong Province.
Later, the Ghanaian delegation will travel to central China's Hunan Province to meet provincial officials and then proceed to the laboratory of Yuan Longping, "The Father of Hybrid Rice," and discuss how China could assist Ghana in improving on its rice yields.
Akufo-Addo will then journey to Shenzhen in south China's Guangdong Province to meet with officials of China National Building Materials Co., Ltd. (CNBM) who are working with the Ghanaian government on its flagship program "One District, One Factory."
On her way back to home, the first lady will make a stopover at Hong Kong to meet with the financial and investment community there, said the release.
