The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has received a significant boost to its modernization efforts through a donation of electronic equipment from the People’s Republic of China.
Her Excellency Zhang Yangling, China’s Ambassador to Antigua and Barbuda, handed over the items during a ceremony at the Chinese Embassy on Tuesday.
The donation included laptop and desktop computers, projectors and screens, WiFi routers, and other equipment intended to enhance the Force’s operational capacity.
Acting Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers welcomed the support, describing it as more than just a gift of tools, but a symbol of the longstanding friendship between the two nations.
“This timely donation will strengthen our ability to serve and protect the people of Antigua and Barbuda with greater efficiency and effectiveness,” Jeffers said. “It also demonstrates the continued partnership and support of the People’s Republic of China in advancing our national security objectives.”
