​China has promised to continue all the projects that it started in Dominica, before the passage of Hurricane Maria.
 
These include the construction of the new National Hospital, the York Valley Bridge, and the West Coast Road Rehabilitation Project.
 
People’s Republic of China Ambassador Lu Kun said the projects were stopped by the hurricane, but he hopes they restart soon, when conditions improve. He made that promise at a signing ceremony for new military aid assistance to Dominica earlier this week. He added that assessments of damages, debris and project quality needs must first be done.
 
Ambassador Kun stated that the advanced working groups involved in the projects, will soon return to Dominica, and construction of these projects will resume, when conditions permit it.
 
Meanwhile, Kun said a new Chinese medical team has been selected, and is ready to come to Dominica “to provide high quality” medical care.
 
A contract was signed between the Government of Dominica and the Government of the People’s Republic of China earlier this year for the team to come here.
 
Ambassador Kun said, “This will enhance our substantial cooperation for post-hurricane medical service in Dominica”.
