Description

On July 15, 2002, the Government of Lesotho and the Chinese Government signed an LSL 24 million grant agreement. Lesotho’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Mohlabi Tsekoa signed the agreement on behalf of his government. The purpose of the grant was to facilitate the acquisition of 2,000 tons of yellow maize in response to a drought-induced famine across Lesotho, which began in 2002 and lasted until 2004. This maize donation was successfully delivered to the Government of Lesotho, but its precise delivery date is unknown. The Chinese Government made subsequent maize donations, which are captured in #55530 and #55533.
