“The rapid rise of China has not only benefited the Chinese people and greatly changed China, but also made important contributions to the development and progress of human society. The success of China’s development has boosted the confidence of developing countries in achieving prosperity, and expanded the path for developing countries to realize modernization. It provides experience and reference for those countries and nations in the world that both want to accelerate their development and maintain their own independence to take a path that suits their own national conditions,” VP Taylor stated.
Mrs. Taylor paid special tribute to the leadership quality of Comrade Xi Jinping and the sense of purpose that made him to put forward a series of important propositions such as jointly building the “Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)”, advocating the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, calling for changes in the global governance system, and building a fair and just new international order, etc. She added that these important ideas fully demonstrate the historical responsibility of the CPC as the world’s largest party and China as a responsible major country.
“The friendly and pragmatic cooperative relations between Africa and China enjoy a long history, and the traditional friendship between Liberia and China will last forever. Over the years, China has made indelible major contributions to Liberia’s social and economic development, infrastructure construction, people-to-people exchanges, health, education, and agriculture, etc. The China-aided Ministerial Complex and the new terminal of Roberts International Airport have become landmarks in Liberia and become an eternal symbol of Liberia-China friendship”.
Vice President Taylor who enumerated a lot of projects supported by the Chinese said that when Liberia encountered the Ebola crisis and then facing the COVID pandemic, China has always been amongst the first countries to help Liberia to battle the pandemic by sending a large number of medical experts and donating large quantities of medical supplies to Liberia. She stressed that such endeavor fully reflects the brotherhood of the governments and peoples of the two countries in sharing wealth and woe.
“Under the strong leadership of Liberian President and Chinese President, the pragmatic and friendly cooperation between Liberia and China will become brighter and broader. This year, the China-aided “overpass bridges” project is expected to break ground, and projects such as the clinical reference laboratory and the Somalia Drive-Sinkor road and bridge project will also make further progress. China is also actively considering donating COVID vaccines to Liberia. Besides, the cooperation between the two countries in the fields of infrastructure, agriculture, public health and people-to-people exchanges has been further deepened”, She said.
