China Eximbank provides buyer's credit loans for the Western Salvation Highway Project On July 29, 2008, China Eximbank and the Government of Sudan signed a $3 billion oil-backed master framework agreement (or line of credit) to finance various infrastructure projects. This resources-credit cooperation package is backed by future revenues from the sale of oil exports.

Several of the subsidiary loans approved through this agreement, totaling $650 million, supported the 1200 km Western Salvation Highway Project which sought to link Sudan's Darfur and Kordofan regions with the capital Khartoum and some neighboring countries.
