Grant Description
On the anniversary of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam's historic visit to China on the 10th of July, 1972, the current Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam and Financial Minister Rama Sithanen made an official visit to Beijing in 2007 and were offered, among other things, a grant of 10 million RMB by the Chinese government as part of an aid package.
In a press conference on July 21, 2007, Prime Minister Ramgoolam stated that the grant would be used alongside other Chinese lines of credit to finance several infrastructure projects; these include the Bagatelle Dam, roads in Riche-Terre, and a traffic decongestion program in Port-Louis. It is unclear whether the loan was used to fund these and other infrastructure projects.
The other offers made on the July 10th, 2007 visit are captured in #1152, #20178, #20814, and #20827.
