Can someone help tell us what is in this friendship for Taipei? Seems a
lot of money to me.

*The ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Samuel Chen, Tuesday
handed over a cheque amounting to US$613, 300 to the Minister of
Presidential Affairs and Secretary General and head of the Civil Service
Dr. Njogou Bah as Taiwan's final payment of the annual grant totaling to
US$970,442 for the construction of the fence along the perimeter of the
Banjul International Airport.*

Presenting the cheque, Ambassador Chen described The Gambia as a close
friend and development partner of Taiwan, saying the project can help
enhance the aviation safety of the airport so as to better serve
travelers' interests. This, he said is in line with Gambia government's
quest for safety and security for the airport so as to better serve its
national interest.

Receiving the cheque, Minister Bah thanked Taiwanese government through
her ambassador for their positive and timely response. He described it
as yet another noble gesture and demonstration of the cordial
relationship between Banjul and Taipei.
