Chinese Professor Xu Liping has advised that Ghana's development aspirations should focus more on building a strong infrastructure base.
"It is appropriate that the government invested massively in the construction of roads and railways, housing, educational, health, irrigational and electricity facilities, together with the provision of potable water and other social amenities", she noted.
Prof. Liping, who was delivering a paper on the topic "China's Conception and Practice of Poverty Reduction - a Model for Ghana", at a seminar in Beijing, China, said this could not be glossed over as the nation sought for long-term remedy for her development challenges.
"Infrastructure development is the basis for industrialization, wealth-creation and also for the alleviation of poverty amongst the masses", she observed, adding that, developing countries that had attracted direct foreign investment over the years all towed this line.
It is designed to sharpen their professional skills to enhance their competency for effective work, especially within the framework of the Sino-Ghana development agenda, to help promote the socio-economic and cultural interest of both countries.
Since Ghana opens up to foreign trade and investment after its economic reforms in 1979, it had been among the world’s fastest-growing economies.
