The Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Ambassador Tong, led a delegation to visit the Alphabet City residential development, a flagship project by Waylead, one of Ghana’s leading real estate developers.

Ambassador Tong and his delegation toured the villas and apartments within the estate, expressing high regard for the project’s master planning, construction quality, and overall environment.

Following the tour, a meeting was held at Waylead’s office, where Mr. Keegan Wang, the Managing Director (MD) of the company, briefed the ambassador on Waylead’s operations and development journey in Ghana.

During the discussion, Ambassador Tong engaged in in-depth conversations with both Chinese staff representatives from Waylead and its contractors—China Railway Construction Engineering Group (CRCEG) and Kweichow Construction. He also showed keen interest in the working and living conditions of Chinese staff as well as the employment situation of local Ghanaian workers. The Alphabet City project directly employs over 240 Ghanaians and around 20 Chinese staff members.. Ambassador Tong commended the company’s contribution to job creation in Ghana.

Upon learning about the project’s building material supply chain, Ambassador Tong encouraged Waylead to attract more high-quality Chinese building material manufacturers to invest and establish local factories in Ghana, thereby creating more jobs in Ghana.

In addition, Ambassador Tong inquired about the company’s relationship with local authorities and chiefs. He offered valuable advice on strengthening community engagement and urged the company to operate in full compliance with local laws, build a strong brand image, and strive for sustainable and higher-level development.

The visit by Ambassador Tong and his delegation demonstrated the Chinese government’s strong support for Chinese private investments in Ghana, injecting renewed confidence and momentum into Ghana’s economy and Waylead’s future growth.
