The Chinese Government is courting the support of all to help fight the deadly coronavirus.
The Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Shi Ting Wang says with support and understanding, a cure will be found for the virus also known as Covid-19.

We’ve supported each other before with the construction in the development of the economy and at this difficult time, we’ve also received support from Ghanaian friends. I believe that with the goodwill and support from Ghana and the international community, Chinese people united as one will triumph over coronavirus very soon,” he noted.
