Visiting Ghanaian President John Evans Atta Mills received an exclusive interview in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on Sept 21, 2010.

"China is bringing investment, expertise and knowledge for the benefit of the African people in a bid to help the continent to regain its rightful place, to achieve rapid progress," said the president.

The president is grateful for China's huge economic assistance to many developing nations, and hopes that his homeland will be able to achieve the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with the investments and support of its Asian ally.
