On November 3, 2017, the PRC Ministry of Commerce published a press release announcing that a Chinese government official signed a cooperation agreement committing $3 million USD to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for aid to internally displaced people in Republic of Congo-Brazzaville. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service (flow ID #168218), this donation was fully paid.

Additional details
UN OCHA flow ID #168218 marks the commitment and disbursement date as 30 September 2017 but no sources confirm this. Moreover, OCHA's transaction amount is only $1 million USD, but the $3 million USD figure was used since it came directly from the PRC.
