On March 27, a 12-member team sent by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) arrived in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, on a charter flight to help with local COVID-19 prevention and control, carrying with them medical supplies the Chinese side donated.

Li Lianhe, Chinese ambassador to Algeria, and Zhou Sheng, general manager of CSCEC Algeria, greeted the team at the airport, and attended the handover ceremony of the medical supplies. Li greeted the team and praised CSCEC for sending them here. He said he believes that the team will further improve CSCEC's capacity in preventing COVID-19 in Algeria, and hopes that the team can exchange experience with the Algerian side and give efforts to combatting the pandemic.

Lotfi Benbahmed, Algeria's vice health minister in charge of pharmaceutical industry, expressed his thanks to the Chinese side for providing the emergency supplies and timely assistance to Algeria at the ceremony.

Chen Jianguang, head of the team and general manager of CSCEC’s investment department, said the team represented CSCEC's care for its employees. With a long history and an outstanding performance, CSCEC Algeria has been a flagship enterprise representing CSCEC overseas, and its employees have made great contributions to CSCEC's overseas endeavors. The team will start to work as soon as possible, apply Chinese experience and practices in Algeria based on local conditions, and unite Chinese and Algerian employees against COVID-19.

"We have the confidence and ability to overcome the outbreak, maintain the physical and mental health of Chinese and Algerian employees, and ensure smooth production and operation," said Chen.
