According to a report from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, on October 24, 2019, the Chargé d'Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in Damascus, Ma Xiuling, attended a handover ceremony at the port of Latakia for container inspection equipment donated by the Chinese Government to Syria. The head of the Readiness Office at the General Directorate of Customs for the Port of Latakia, Farhan Al-Samuri, co-signed the handover certificate with Chargé d'Affairs Ma. The donation consisted of three customs scanners that were delivered to the port of the city of Latakia.. The exact value of these scanners is unknown. At the same ceremony, the Chinese embassy also donated the last batch of a food aid project (see Record ID#65049).
