Grant Description

Chinese Government pledges a RMB 300 million concessional loan — via a framework agreement — for unspecified purposes On June 22, 2004, during the visit of President of Syria Bashar al-Assad to China, the Chinese Government signed a concessional loan framework agreement (Chinese agreement name: 中华人民共和国政府和阿拉伯叙利亚共和国政府关于中国向叙利亚提供优惠贷款的框架协议) with the Government of Syria for the provision of a RMB 300 million loan to Syria for the implementation of projects to be mutually agreed upon by both governments.

It is likely this preferential loan framework agreement was signed by the Export-Import Bank of China, but AidData has been unable to verify this claim. It is unclear which - if any - loans were made under this framework agreement.
