Description
On 13 July 2017, representatives of China and Lesotho signed an Exchange of Letters for a comprehensive technical assistance project for the Lesotho Parliament Building and National Convention Center (援莱索托议会大厦和国家会议中心综合技术援助项目). This project involves Chinese technicians working with the Lesotho Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Culture to equip Basothos with the skills needed to maintain these buildings. The parliament building is captured in project #1096 and the convention center in #53050. The project value and details are unknown. A 2018 article from Global Times suggests there were at least two teams of Chinese technicians to visit Lesotho for this project. That being said, Yanjian Group was implementing the project in December 2019 but it is unclear if they were responsible for just one of the teams or all of them.
