Description
On November 19, 2008, the Chinese Minister of Commerce and the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Relations signed letters of exchange, in which the Chinese government pledged to grant 10,000 mountain bikes to the Government of Perú. The bikes were worth about 517,000 USD, with the grant aiming to raise teenagers' interest in sports and improve the sports level nationwide. On July 9th, 2009, the handover ceremony for the bicycles occurred. China donated these bicycles through the Chinese Ambassador in Peru, Gao Zhengyue, handing them over to the Ministry of Education. The bicycle donation will also be integrated into the public transportation system like in France, Germany, and many others.
