On June 22, 2004, the Chinese Government and the Government of Syria signed an exchange of letters, which committed RMB 20 million (approximately $3 million) of grant funding for a Container Inspection Equipment Project. This project involved the purchase and installation of aviation pallet container inspection equipment (PB2028) for use at Damascus International Airport.
