Description
In November of 2003, China's ambassador to Namibia announced that his government would give the African country a 30 million Yuan loan at zero interest in order to enhance cooperation between the two countries and help Namibia with development programs. A diplomat outlined that the funds were meant for the purchase of general goods. Calle Schlettwein, Permanent Secretary in the Namibian Ministry of Finance, was involved with the negotiation of terms. It is unclear exactly what the funds were used to purchase, but the project appears to be untied.
