The Congolese government has, through the director America, Asia and Oceania at the Foreign Ministry Alul Ambim Jean, received this Wednesday, August 28, 2019 the first batch of China's donation to fight against the Ebola virus disease that plagues the eastern part of the country.
Estimated at more than 20 tons, this first batch landed this Wednesday around 12 hours at N'djili International Airport. It consists of protective equipment and laboratory equipment.
In addition to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the reception ceremony of this donation also included the participation of the Secretary-General of the Ministry of International Cooperation Léon Abedi, as well as the Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the DRC Xu Yuanjie.
Alul Ambim recalled that China is not his first intervention of its kind.
"In 2017, when the Ebola epidemic struck the province of Equateur, the Chinese government rescued our country with a million dollars, and now it is still flying to our rescue with 60 tons of equipment", he said.
The economic adviser of the Chinese Embassy in the DRC said that this donation is an expression of the determination of the people and the Chinese government to accompany the DRC in the fight against Ebola.
He said the second batch of materials and equipment that China offers to the DRC is coming to Kinshasa next week.
