Geography

Description

On July 19, 2001, Chinese President Jiang Zemin promised his Belarus counterpart Alexander Lukashenko he would build closer ties with this isolated ex-Soviet republic, which had been shunned by the West. After the talks, Zemin signed over a $1.2 million grant agreement to help the country cope with the after-effects of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Belarus was one of the countries worst-hit by the radioactive cloud that resulted from the explosion of one of the reactors in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in neighboring Ukraine.

Additional details

Belarus was not ODA-eligible from 2000 to 2004, so AidData has set the flow class variable to OOF-like.
