Description

In December 2018, the Chinese Embassy in Sao Tome and Principe donated food aid to Sao Tome's National Red Cross to be given to elderly citizens in the country. The food aid took the form of Christmas baskets, and contained beans, rice, spaghetti, powdered milk, sugar, salt, biscuits, and oil. The Secretary General of the Red Cross was the one who received this aid from the Chinese ambassador, and two days later, he received another reinforcement with the same products from the São Toméan government. This project is completed.
