He noted that as a comprehensive central enterprise integrating planning & consultation, survey & design, engineering contracting, equipment manufacturing and investment & operation, CEEC’s business scope covers Perse fields such as electric power, energy, transportation, housing construction and municipal engineering. As a backbone enterprise of CEEC, CGGC has rich investment and construction experience in African markets.

President Nana Akufo-Addo noted that CEEC and its subsidiary CGGC has built a remarkable number of national livelihood projects in Ghana by virtue of good performance capacity and high sense of social responsibility, and has made great contributions to the economic development and improvement of people’s livelihood of Ghana, being a trusted partner of Ghana. The Ghanaian Government will always support CEEC’s development in Ghana, and create a more equitable and orderly investment and construction environment. He also hoped that both parties could establish more extensive and in-depth cooperation in the future.
