"The number of active cases is now under 1000.
"The Kotoko International Airport has been reopened.
"The government of Ghana has done a commendable job, which should be highly appreciated and fully supported", he stated.
Mr Zhu said China, like Ghana and other countries, also suffered a lot from the virus but under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the whole nation has been fighting an all-out people’s war against the pandemic and they have made important progress in the prevention and control efforts so far.
Mr Zhu emphasised that the virus respects no borders and friendship has no boundaries.
“The Chinese government and the Chinese People, including those in Ghana, will do their best to help Ghana.”
He believed that as long as Ghana and China stayed in solidarity, “we will definitely win the battle against the pandemic.”
