CCCC's road projects pave the way for poverty alleviation

At midnight, beside the entrance of Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, passengers look up at the scaffolding to find out where the slight roar of construction work is coming from. In the darkness near the construction site, they can make out a sign with the letters CCCC.

Workers of China Communications Construction Co are working day and night on the expansion of the Ethiopian capital's airport in order to provide convenience to passengers as early as possible. Since it first came to Ethiopia in 1998, CCCC has worked at full speed with high standards on many major infrastructure projects in the country. Known to nearly every household in the East African country, the company plays an important role in the cooperation between China and Ethiopia.

Wen Yingzheng, general manager of the East Africa Regional Headquarters of China First Highway Engineering Co, a division of CCCC, has worked in Ethiopia for 20 years.
