Chinese Government provides RMB 70 million grant for automobiles, munitions, and special technical equipment

In 2017, China committed to grant technical facilities worth 70 million RMB to Tajikistan to strengthen its capacity of emergency response. Committee of Emergency Situations and Civil Defense secured automobiles, munitions, and special technical equipment from China through an agreement under the United Nations Development Programme. It was estimated that Tajik authorities would begin to receive this assistance around September/October of 2017. More than 100,000 people live in danger areas in Tajikistan, and 27 people have died in natural disasters in the first half of 2017. As of July, 2017, 284 areas in Tajikistan were considered dangerous for human habitation. Along with the project, the Committee will also receive $500,000 grant from Japan and $460,000 from Russia.
