Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 31 March 2004 representatives of the governments of China and Uruguay signed an exchange of letters outlining a 5 million RMB donation to finance economic and technical cooperation projects agreed upon at a later date by both parties. On 22 April 2004 the Directorate General for International Cooperation (Dirección General de Cooperación Internacional) of Uruguay sent Letter No. 152 (Nota Nº 152) to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Uruguay expressing the intention of the Government of Uruguay to use the 5 million RMB donation to finance the technological modernization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores), namely through the provision of video conferencing and IP telephony equipment, as well as the renovation of the IT infrastructure and the air conditioning and audio equipment. The donation consists of 618 packages containing computer equipment, video conferencing equipment, air conditioning equipment, telephone exchange and accessories. The President of Uruguay Tabaré Vázquez signed a resolution on 29 June 2005 accepting this donation from China, and on 20 July 2005 the handover certificate was officially signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay.
