Chinese Embassy Donates PPE to GCAA

At a special ceremony in Accra today, the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Ghana, H.E. Shi Ting Wang, donated personal protective equipment (PPE) to the Director General of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Ing. Simon Allotey.

The donation, which included 10,000 disposable medical face masks, 10 infrared thermometers, 400 bottles of hand sanitizer, and a thermal temperature scanner, is the embassy’s support for GCAA’s fight against the deadly coronavirus disease.

Expressing gratitude for the support, Ing. Allotey acknowledged China’s cooperation with Ghana in the field of airworthiness regarding the use of Chinese aircraft in the West African country. He thanked China for substantially enhancing the development of critical aviation human resources in Ghana through the provision of scholarships for professionals in the sector.

Ambassador Wang, whose duty tour of Ghana is scheduled to end soon, recognized the crucial importance of Ghana-China relations, particularly in areas such as trade, infrastructure development and the provision of scholarship to students, noting that he would always carry the country in his heart.

Ing. Allotey was accompanied by GCAA’s Deputy Director General (Technical) and Corporate Communications Manager, Messrs Charles Krakue and Eric Mireku Amaning, respectively.
