On the day set aside to honour Ghana, the Ghanaian stand was visited by the Chinese Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Mr Han Changfu and later by his Vice Dr Qu. Dongyu, a statement from Ghanaian officials copied the Ghanaian Times said.
The huge crowds were entertained by a Ghanaian dancing troupe accompanied by traditional music, much to the appreciation and amusement of the ministers and the teeming visitors, the statement said.
