President John Dramani Mahama has extended an open invitation to Chinese investors to look out for busi­ness opportunities in Ghana. "Ghana is open for business again and I invite our comrade Chinese investor community to look at the opportunities Ghana has to offer and let's create a win-win situation for our two people." President Mahama made the call at the 2025 Lantern Festival of the Chinese people in Accra.

The festival, also known as the Shangyuan, is a Chinese event that marks the national day of the Chinese New Year celebrations.

The event was organised by the Chinese Embassy in Accra on the theme: "Celebrating the 65th anniversary of China-Ghana rela­tions and Chinese Lantern Festival Gala".

The President noted that cel­ebrating the lantern festival was an important occasion in Chinese culture that signalled unity, renew­al, and hope.
