He said, “We will try our best to make up for losses when the pandemic is over. We are important to Africa and Africa is also important to us. Even though we’re facing difficulties, I believe that the pandemic will be over in a short time if we unite and fight together or with concerted efforts from both sides. I do believe that we will win over the pandemic. And in the future, we will put up some measures to strengthen our relations economically, politically and socially.”
Ambassador Shi Ting Wang earlier in the week, admitted that his country has come under severe pressure since it started recovering from the pandemic because several countries around the world have asked them for support.
He made this known in his address on Monday, 6 April 2020 while presenting a consignment of PPEs from his government to the government of Ghana.
He said; “To be honest, nearly every country in the world has asked for China’s help. In the face of such a huge challenge, we have managed to procure these supplies and get them here in chartered flight when all scheduled flights have come to a halt. It is not easy, per se".
