FSM breaks ground on China-led airport reconstruction project in Woleai
“Federated States of Micronesia President Wesley Simina officiated the May 26 groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction of the Woleai airport runway.”
“The work is being done by China’s Shandong Hengyue Municipal Engineering Co. Approximately 30 workers are on site, with the project expected to last around nine months.”
“A cargo ship with smaller tenders is anchored offshore. It brought construction equipment and materials for the job from China.”
“The U.S. Department of Defense earlier announced an estimated $2 billion in investments in Yap, including infrastructure. However, it appears to be limited to the main island of Yap proper, rather than the state as a whole.”
