Grant Description
On April 19, 2018, Chinese Ambassador to Lesotho Sun Xianghua attended the handover ceremony of China's emergency food aid project in Lesotho, and signed a handover certificate with Lesotho's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations and Acting Minister Sechabi.
About 40 people including Minister of the Prime Minister's Office of Lesotho Tso Luo, Acting Permanent Secretary Mahoshi, Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lehra, heads of relevant departments, Ma Guoliang, Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Lesotho, and local media reporters attended the event.
This is the second batch of emergency food aid provided by the Chinese government to Lesotho since November 2017.
In 2016, when there was a serious shortage of food in Las Vegas, the Chinese government provided a batch of emergency food aid to Las Vegas in time, benefiting more than 400,000 people in Las Vegas.
In 2017, at the request of the Lesotho government, the Chinese government once again provided emergency food aid to Lesotho and increased the amount of aid. However, the exact donation amount for this emergency food aid is unknown.
