This showcased the responsibilities being shouldered by State-owned enterprises and laid a solid foundation for the company to ensure the progress of projects that are under construction in Tajikistan.
It also made a positive contribution to Tajikistan's economic recovery and the construction of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Affected by the novel coronavirus epidemic, Chinese-funded enterprises have faced major challenges with their projects in Tajikistan, as personnel returning to China for the Spring Festival holiday in 2020 were left stranded in their home country.
In order to actively promote the resumption of work and production of the project, the POWERCHINA Tajikistan representative office stepped in, to organize charter flights.
The representative office formulated special travel plans, organized nucleic acid tests for returning personnel, issued masks and daily medicine and prepared isolation dormitories in advance for returning workers.
