On May 12, 2017, the governments of China and Armenia signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA) agreeing that China will donate 100 million RMB for the purchase of 200 ambulances. The agreement was first reached in December 2016. According to 168.am, these 200 ambulances will "enable Armenia to completely meet the Republic’s demand."

According to the contract signed between Armenia and China, the vehicles were donated exclusively for the purpose of emergency services, their use, maintenance, maintenance, and technical conditions and can be subject to removal from Armenia if the country does not use them for such purposes.
