The Chinese envoy also described the project as another symbol of the longstanding friendship between Liberia and China, founded on mutual respect, equality, and shared benefit. According to Yin, bilateral cooperation has continued to expand, particularly in infrastructure development, with the Gbarnga–Salayea Highway serving as another example of the growing partnership between the two countries. He disclosed that the project was awarded through Liberia’s public procurement process and implemented by the China Henan International Cooperation Group (CHICO). “The successful completion of this project demonstrates the confidence the Liberian Government places in Chinese enterprises and reflects the professionalism, technical expertise, and commitment of Chinese companies operating in Liberia,” Yin said. He said increased investment would deliver quality infrastructure, create employment opportunities, facilitate technology and skills transfer, and support Liberia’s long-term development goals.
