On January 6, 2006, Liberian Information Minister William Allen said that the Chinese government offered 1 million USD worth of Agriculture tools to the incoming government. Chinese Ambassador to Liberia Lin Songtian presented the first shipment of 6 containers to Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf on May 5, 2006. The shipment included over 630,000 cutlasses, axes, diggers, shovels, rakes, and other things. The second shipment of 18 containers arrived within the week.
