Recently, the Ecuador Manta International Airport Reconstruction Project financed by the Export-Import Bank of China and undertaken by the China Road and Bridge Joint Venture held a facility handover and opening ceremony. Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso attended the ceremony and cut the ribbon for the opening of the airport. Chinese Ambassador to Ecuador Chen Guoyou, Ecuadorian Minister of Transport and Public Works Herrera, Minister of Tourism Olsen, government officials from the Civil Aviation Administration of Ecuador, Manta City and some airline representatives attended the ceremony.
In his speech, Lasuo thanked the China Road and Bridge Joint Venture for its outstanding efforts in the implementation of the project. He said that the opening of Manta International Airport not only delivered a new airport, but also initiated the connection between Manta and the world. Ecuador is willing to further increase practical cooperation with China in various fields in the future, so as to push bilateral relations to a new level.
Chen Guoyou said that Manta Airport was severely damaged in the 2016 earthquake. As a friend and partner of Ecuador, China immediately extended a helping hand to support Ecuador in its post-disaster reconstruction. Through the joint efforts of both sides, the new airport in Manta was successfully opened. This is a major achievement of China's assistance in post-disaster reconstruction, a happy event for the local public transportation system, and another example of the continuous deepening of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
