An Emergency Humanitarian Food Assistance grant to Liberia was signed by the Government of the Republic of Liberia and the People’s Republic of China which aimed at consolidating and strengthening the existing bilateral cooperation between the two countries. The donation was based upon a request from the Liberia Government.
In brief remarks, Chinese Ambassador Fu said, “On behalf of the Government of the People’s Republic of China, I have the honor to hand over 50 containers in the tone of 1,243 metric tons of rice to the Liberian Government and people. She indicated that the donation is another gift from the Chinese Government.
Fu further said, “Since the inauguration of President George Manneh Weah on January 22nd, the President and his administration have been working hard to stabilize the price of the country’s staple food, with the intent to ensure that Liberians, especially unprivileged Liberians, can afford to buy their staple at a reasonable price.”
According to a Foreign Ministry statement issued on Sunday in Monrovia, the signing of the Certificate of Handover and Acceptance note for the China-aid grant under which China donated 50 containers of 1,243 metric tons of rice, took place in the Foreign Minister’s conference room at the weekend.
