The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has trained a second batch of 19 officers in the Chinese language to improve communication and efficiency at immigration checkpoints in the country.
The training is designed to provide officers with basic language skills to help them communicate effectively with Chinese travellers and residents.
At the graduation ceremony held at Kotoka International Airport in Accra yesterday, the Accra Regional Commander of GIS, Deputy Comptroller of Immigration Edith Arhin, highlighted the importance of language skills in immigration work.
She noted that Ghana attracted a large number of Chinese nationals for business, tourism, and cultural exchanges, adding "Effective communication is key to providing quality service and managing the increasing number of Chinese visitors." "The training aimed to equip officers with basic Chinese language skills to enhance their interactions with Chinese travellers and residents," she said.
