The recommissioning ceremony of the refurbished National Theatre of Ghana took place in Accra on March 30th, 2007. H.E. Mr. Zhang Keyuan, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Ghana, Hon. Mr. Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Minster of Tourism and Diasporian Relations and Ms. Joyce R. Aryee, Chairman of the National Theatre Board attended the ceremony.

In his address at the ceremony, H.E. Mr. Zhang expressed that the National Theatre of Ghana was constructed with an interest-free loan by China and completed in 1992, which symbolizes and witnesses the China-Ghana friendship and plays an important role in promoting people-to-people cultural exchanges between the two countries. As time passes, some facilities and functions of the National Theatre could not satisfy the demand of the new century, the Chinese government agreed to renovate the Theatre with a grant of USD 2 million at the request of the Ghanaian Government. He said he believes China-Ghana friendship will sail ahead in the new century. H.E. Mr. Zhang also expressed the willingness of promoting China-Ghana cooperation after the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which was held last November. The Chinese government and people will continue to strengthen the bilateral cooperation in all fields and promote Chinese investment in Ghana.

Hon. Minister Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey expressed appreciation to the Chinese government and people for the work well done and long-time assistants and supports to Ghana, and his warm congratulations to the National Commission on Culture and the management of the National Theatre.
