China is Ghana's biggest bilateral creditor with about $1.9 billion of debt, according to Ghana's finance ministry.
China's vice commerce minister met with Ghana's finance minister in Beijing on Thursday to discuss strengthening bilateral economic and trade cooperation, China's commerce ministry said on Friday.
