Recently, a delegation from the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Ghana arrived in China to conduct a tour and inspection of the smart rail system. Ghana's Deputy Minister of Transport, Dukas Afo Tofi, said on social media: "The Ghanaian government has always been committed to promoting the modernization of its transportation sector. I am honored to lead the Metro Mass Transit Limited delegation to China for a working visit to explore strategic cooperation between the two sides in the transformation of Ghana's urban transportation system. ”

The General Manager and Deputy General Manager of Suzhou Smart Rail warmly welcomed the Ghanaian delegation at the Wujiang Smart Rail Maintenance Yard. During the inspection, the delegation visited the control center and also took a test ride on the T1 demonstration line of the Wujiang Metro system at the Smart Rail Maintenance Yard. They not only witnessed mature smart rail technology and practical operation cases, but also deeply experienced the comprehensive solution advantages of combining intelligent transportation systems with urban development, tourism integration, and green travel.

At the symposium, the Ghanaian delegation had a detailed understanding of the technical principles, operational models, and economic benefits of the smart rail system, particularly showing strong interest in the multi axis linkage technology and automatic tracking system of the smart rail.
