Ambassador Extraordinary of the People’s Republic China to Liberia, Ambassador Yin Chengwu, has revealed China’s commitment to strengthening Liberia’s education system by creating a better education environment for Liberia.
“The Chinese Embassy is willing to join the collective efforts in Liberia and to do our best to create a better environment for the healthy growth of every student and the hard work of every teacher.”
Ambassador Yin stated.
The Chinese diplomat made the revelation at the Chinese Embassy near Monrovia on Thursday, November 14, 2024, during a donation to the MCSS.
At the donation, which was held under the theme “Supporting Monrovia Public School,” the Ambassador asserted that
Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS), which is responsible for 25 public schools in the capital city of Monrovia, serving 25,000 students and 750 teachers, plays an important role in the execution of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).
Therefore, the donation of a batch of food supplies, stationery, and sports equipment to the MCSS is in support of the President’s development agenda.
In anticipation of the outcome of the donation, the ambassador added that China hopes that the donation will deepen the friendship between China and Liberia.
“We hope these resources will help Monrovia’s public schools function better, provide students with nutritious meals, facilitate more sports activities, and boost their confidence and happiness.
We hope that the support will deepen the friendship between China and Liberia. China and Liberia are good friends and partners.”
It can be recalled that the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which was held in Beijing, saw the meeting of Chinese President Xi Jinping with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, at which time the two sides announced the elevation of the China-Liberia relationship to a strategic partnership.
The ambassador asserted that based on the outcome of their meeting of the two heads of state, in the future, China and Liberia will further strengthen bilateral relations, expand practical cooperation, and promote people-to-people exchanges.
He further added that China stands ready to implement the outcomes of the meeting between the two Presidents and the FOCAC Summit.
“This means that in the future, China and Liberia will further strengthen bilateral relations, expand practical cooperation and promote people-to-people exchanges. China stands ready to implement the outcomes of the meeting between the two Presidents and the FOCAC Summit. Today’s event is a testament.”
Meanwhile, the chairperson of Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS) is committed to ensuring that the donated food items and teaching materials are used for the development of early childhood education across public schools.
“We are committed to ensuring that these donated items are used to develop the early childhood education division of the
Monrovia Consolidated School System.”
