BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Top political advisor Jia Qinglin met on Monday with Doe Adjaho, first deputy speaker of the Parliament of Ghana.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), hailed the current state of bilateral ties and booming cooperation between China and the west African state.
"As developing countries, China and Ghana bear the same tasks of promoting our economies and improving livelihoods. Expanding cooperation conforms with the interests of both countries and their peoples," Jia said.
