Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio applauded China's contribution to this project, saying the cordial relationship and cooperation between the two countries continue to grow in the last 50 years and assured that it will further move from strength to strength.

"Chinese support to Sierra Leone has been great and very much visible," the President remarked and furthered that the turning of the sod for the Foreign Service Academy is a clear example of Chinese support to the people of Sierra Leone.
