Chinese industrialists form association

A Chinese Association for FuJian in Ghana  has been formed  and registered under the laws of  Ghana by Chinese industrialists to guide its members in the country to be law-abiding.

The association has one of its objectives to help create a more stable environment for investment in Ghana to attract other investors and also create jobs.

Members include industrialists from  steel, food, beverage, groceries, tourism, paper, textile and wood sectors. 

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony in Tema , the President  of the  association,  Mr Xu  Ning Quan,  who is also the Managing Director of Sen Tuo Steel in Tema, said the association for FuJian in Ghana would also guide and help every member to invest  and work legally in Ghana.

He observed  that  it had become necessary for the Chinese business community to give support to the  Ghanaian economy so long as they remained a part of the society. 

Objective

Mr Ning said as industrialists, they had come together to form a formidable group to help set up more industries and also create job opportunities in  the economy.

He said  every Chinese who came to Ghana would have to register with the association which had been registered under the laws of Ghana.

Appeal

 Mr Ninig Quan appealed to Chinese nationals arriving in the country to  register  with the association to legalise their stay and also engage in ventures which were of interest to the Ghanaian  government and the economy.

He noted that the association would facilitate communication  and  strengthen cooperation  between the Chinese and Ghanaians for peaceful co-existence .

Police Commander‘s caution 

The outgoing Tema Regional Police Commander,  DCOP Maxwell  Atingane, who was the guest speaker , told them to be law abiding  and make  their stay profitable for Ghana . 

DCOP Atingane  said  it  was good news that they had formed an association to be able to identify the bad lots among them .

Call for Education 

He urged them to educate their nationals so that those with bad intensions did not dare to enter the country .

DCOP Atingane  cautioned that the security services in the country will not spare those who engaged in negative activities .

He commended the industrialists for coming together to form the association and for conceiving the idea of supporting the economy by creating more jobs .

Award of certificates 

Members were later given membership certificates to authenticate their membership status.
