On June 15, 2004, China Eximbank signed an agreement to provide a 300 million RMB concessional loan to the Republic of Uzbekistan for various projects (captured in #39957). Using the financing from this concessional loan, the Uzbekistan government financed the purchase of more than 30,000 computers and corresponding network from China National Technology Import and Export Corporation. The total cost of the computers and office equipment was $19 million USD. The computers were given to the Uzbekistan Ministry of Education to allocate to 2,054 schools in Uzbekistan. The goal of the computers was to establish a computer classroom with 15-18 computers in over 1,900 schools in Uzbekistan.
