The consignment of 6,000 boxes of disposable surgical face masks were to help the party to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus among its rank and file.

As the Ghanaian people are suffering these trying times, the CPC empathizes and stands firmly with the Ghanaian people in contending with the daunting challenge, said the Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy Zhu Jing during the presentation of the items.

He added that the anti-epidemic supplies arranged by the International Department of the Central Committee of the CPC were to support the NPP to prevent the spread of the pandemic among its members and officials.
