On September 24, 2020, the Chinese government provided a grant to the Ministry of Roads and Bridges in South Sudan for South Sudan’s Jur River Bridge project ("朱尔河大桥项目"). This bridge is being constructed to connect Juba to the Bahr El Ghazal region, therefore promoting local trade, business, and transportation. The Chinese government will also assist in the construction and implementation of this project. The monetary value of this donation is unknown. A ceremony was held for this donation at the South Road and Bridge Department in Juba, South Sudan. Ambassador Hua Ning, the South Road and Bridge Minister, Simon Mijok Mijak, the Deputy Foreign Minister, and the Deputy Finance Minister attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.
