On June 30, 2020, a handover ceremony for the food aid donation of 5.949 tons of rice worth 4.1 billion FCFA was held. This donation is part of the Chinese Government's Food Aid Project, "中国政府粮食援助项目". Chinese Ambassador to Niger, HE Mr. Zhang Lijun, and the Minister of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Management, HE Mr. Magagi Laouan were both in attendance at the ceremony which took place at the Office des Produits Vivriers du Niger (OPVN) store in Niamey. According to the Chinese Embassy's website, this donation will benefit 400,000 people in the 8 regions of the country. The donation symbolizes a continued friendship between the two countries, especially in light of COVID-19. This ceremony was originally scheduled for March 2020, but could not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, the distribution of food began in April 2020. This donation is the 5th of its kind in 4 years.
