Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On June 8, 2020, the Nanchang Municipal People's Government announced a donation of 28,000 medical masks to the Municipal Government of Quilmes to help fight the coronavirus (COVID-19). The donation arrived on or about July 1, 2020, received by, among others, Quilmes Mayor Mayra Mendoza. Nanchang Enhui Medical Hygiene Materials Co., Ltd. manufactured the masks. According to Ordinance No. 13335/2020 from Quilmes' Honorable Deliberative Council – which accepted and approved the donation on August 25, 2020 – the masks were worth USD 5,580 (for customs purposes). The donation occurred within the context of a Protocol of Intent (No. 405/2015) signed between Nanchang and Quilmes, on April 23, 2015, which established a relationship between the two cities. The Mayor of Quilmes sent the Government of Nanchang a letter in March 2020 requesting assistance in light of the emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship; both the Chinese and Argentine Embassies; and the White Helmet Commission of Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs all helped facilitate the donation as well.

Staff comments

1. The date the materials were handed over (and thus, the actual implementation start and actual implementation end dates) is not precisely known. However, the earliest official source that discussed the handover in the past tense - a tweet from the Mayor of Quilmes - occurred on July 1st, 2020. Subsequent official announcements about the donation took place over the next few days. As such, it is assumed July 1st is the handover date. 2. This donation is not captured in Harvard's Mask Diplomacy dataset.
