Despite protests from the United States, work has started on the new China-funded US$80 million Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters south of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
Among the officials at the launch of the first phase of construction on Monday were Amira Elfadil, commissioner for social affairs at the African Union, and ambassador Liu Yuxi, head of the Chinese mission to the AU.
Elfadil said
the African Union appreciated its partnership with China
, which had offered to construct the building, and for China’s continuous support of the AU.
“This partnership will help build the capacity of the public health sector in Africa,” Elfadil said.
