During a 'whistle-stop' visit to Guinea-Bissau on September 21, 2009, Chinese Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister Zhai Jun met with Bissau-Guinean Defence Minister Artur Silva. The pair signed agreements on the enhancement of technical co-operation and support for food sufficiency. The Chinese government gave Guinea-Bissau US$1.47 million in food aid. US$8.32 million in financial aid was also granted to Guinea-Bissau during this visit (see Record ID#794). No information regarding the disbursement of the food aid could be found.
