On November 21, 2020, the Chinese embassy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) held a handover ceremony for a donation of anti-epidemic materials to the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC).

The handover ceremony was in Kinshasa and was attended by Chinese Ambassador to the DRC Zhu Jing, Congolese Defense Minister Ngoi, Deputy Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Ndima, Defense Attache Colonel Ma Fei of the Chinese embassy, and Economic and Commercial Counselor Xu Yuanjie.
