CONAKRY, Guinea — China’s foreign minister has pledged continued support to the three West African countries hardest hit by the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 11,200 people.<\/p>\n

Minister Wang Yi ended his tour in Guinea on Monday after visiting Sierra Leone and Liberia.<\/p>\n

He met with Guinea President Alpha Conde and said he would encourage Chinese enterprises to invest in the post-Ebola economy to construct ports, roads, railways and help with water supply needs, according to a Guinea government statement.<\/p>\n

In Liberia on Sunday, Wang said Liberia is a good example of how China supports countries in Africa.<\/p>\n

“You will see houses and roads built by China and Chinese companies helping the people of Liberia,” he said through a translator. “China is ready to continue to play that role and shoulder the responsibility.”<\/p>\n

China was one of the first to fly in badly needed medical gear when Ebola spread last year.<\/p>\n

China has provided at least $121 million in cash and supplies to fight the disease in West Africa. It also sent dozens of army doctors and hundreds of army medical workers.<\/p>\n

Wang said China plans to build government offices and investigate a possible steel-making project in Liberia.<\/p>\n

In Sierra Leone, Wang met with President Ernest Bai Koroma Saturday to discuss Sierra Leone’s development and public health needs, according to a government statement. He also discussed investments in mining, industrialization, fishing and construction.<\/p>\n

In Liberia, Wang criticized countries that provide assistance but pass judgment, an apparent reaction to President Barack Obama’s recent speech to the African Union which included comments on corruption.<\/p>\n

“Whether a certain government is corrupt or not, it’s not to be judged by outsiders, but only by the people,” he said.<\/p>\n
