Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Between January 17 and 18, 2020, during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Myanmar, the China Ministry of Commerce signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement (ETCA) providing an RMB 200 million grant to support the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDP) in Kachin State, the northern region of Myanmar (captured via Umbrella Record ID#90818). The known sub-projects are as follows: 1) On August 5, 2020, the Chinese Ambassador officially donated RMB 4 million for rebuilding and repairing houses in five villages: Myitkyina Township, Talogyi Village, Wyandmao Township, Dabagyan Village and Nan Sanyang Village (see Record ID#90236). The purpose of this project is to house IDPs. 2) In July 2020, RMB 1 million was given to PowerChina Kunming Engineering Corporation to conduct a feasibility study for resettling refugees (see Record ID#93313). Further implementation details are unknown. It is unclear how the remaining RMB 195 million was spent.
