Grant Description
On July 30, 2019, the Chinese Ambassador to Jamaica, Tian Qi, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Jamaica, Kamina Johnson Smith, signed an RMB 180 million Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement for the Chinese government to provide grant funding for mutually agreed upon projects.
The grant will be used for CT scanners to enhance Jamaica’s border security and airport operations and for the completion of the ministry’s office building project.
The grant will also aid in moving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade to a new location and increasing its operational capacity.
On November 21, 2023, the Chinese government donated airport security scanners and office equipment, including multifunctional printers, computers, laptops, and video conferencing systems, to the Government of Jamaica.
The grant was valued at USD $18 million and would be used to enhance border security and furnish the office of the Jamaican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade.
This transaction is captured in Record ID #103981 and appears to be a partial fulfillment of the commitment from this ETCA, given the description of the donated materials.
