Why people convert Ho Chi Minh to Ghana time

Scheduling a call from Ho Chi Minh to Ghana: a 10:00 AM start in Ho Chi Minh lands at 3:00 AM in Ghana, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Ho Chi Minh and Ghana are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM ICT time (9:00 AM–10:00 AM GMT). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Ho Chi Minh viewers need 2:00 AM in Ghana to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 7:00 AM if the event is anchored to Ho Chi Minh.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -7h gap is not.
Block 4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Ho Chi Minh and need Ghana colleagues present.
