Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2002, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security and the Tajik Ministry of Internal Affairs (also known as the Ministry of the Interior) signed an agreement on the fight against terrorism, extremism and separatism, which included the provision of no-strings aid to Tajikistan. The aid was handed over on March 11, 2003. The aid consisted of twenty patrol cars (Radio Free Europe suggests it was 50 vehicles), special equipment, computers, laser printers, uniforms and footwear for the ministry's special subdivisions, special crime detection equipment, communication devices, night vision binoculars, cameras, metal detectors, shields, and helmets, among other goods. Material for bomb defusal was also included. Media sources indicate that the value of the aid was $700,000. However, according to the Flat Export from Tajikistan AIMS as of May 2018, the Chinese government funded "Policemen facilities" (AIMS Record ID TJK/042056) worth $483,600. Additionally, there was an additional contribution of $157,040 USD for "Different kind of equipment" (AIMS Record ID TJK/042058). Together, these two donations totaled $640,640, therefore it seems they are referencing this same project, even though transaction amounts differ slightly, so the transaction amount was coded as $640,640 USD to reflect official source information.
