Description

On January 22, 2018, a team of six Chinese engineers arrived in Lesotho to carry out preliminary research on a Maseru Fire Station project (马塞卢消防站项目), which involves assisting Lesotho in building a fire-fighting station equipped with specialized vehicles, a waste treatment plant, an agricultural storage and trading center.. Between September 3 and 4, 2018, at the Beijing Summit for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), Lesotho's president and China's premier signed several agreements; one of which being the feasibility study for Maseru Fire Station. According to a media report on June 4, 2019, the Chinese government will provide a grant for the construction of the Maseru Fire Station as well as providing fire engines for the project. The purpose of this project is to improve Maseru's fire-fighting capabilities. As of December 2019, this project was waiting to be implemented.
