Description

On 5 July 2012, Chinese ambassador to Niger, Xia Huang, donated 1,182 tons of rice to address food insecurity in Niger. The Chinese donation is dedicated to reinforcing the country’s cereal stock which was depleted after poor harvests in 2011, through the filling of warehouses of the Niger Food Product Office (OPVN). This was financed under an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement signed earlier the same year (umbrella project #58645). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 我对尼紧急粮援交接仪式在尼日尔举行 文章来源:驻尼日尔使馆经商处 2012-07-05 05:58 文章类型:原创 内容分类:新闻   2012年7月5日上午,驻尼日尔大使夏煌代表中国政府向尼政府移交总计1282吨的紧急粮食援助。使馆经商参赞史首建、尼总理办公厅主任西迪贝、外交部秘书长阿巴尼及相关尼政府官员、尼各主要媒体出席仪式。   在签字仪式上,夏大使和西迪贝主任分别发表讲话。夏大使表示,尼去年下半年以来遭受严重的粮食危机,中国人民感同身受,相信此批中国粮援有助于尼政府更好地应对粮荒,此举也是对尼政府力主的“粮食自给自足”倡议的大力支持和友好表示。夏大使同时指出,中非合作论坛第五届部长级会议召开在即,与包括尼在内的广大非洲国家的务实互利合作前景更为广阔。夏大使最后重申中方愿继续在力所能及范围内,帮助尼改善民生、促进经济社会发展。   西迪贝代表尼政府和人民真诚感谢中国政府的无私援助,表示中国是尼最值得信赖的朋友,每当尼遇到困难,中国总是义不容辞地伸出援手。中国在教育、卫生、饮用水、基础设施等多领域的对尼援助与合作,对尼发展至关重要,体现了尼中友好关系和两国人民间的珍贵友谊。
