Description

On September 17, 2020, the Chinese Government delivered a donation of 1500 tons of rice (with an estimated monetary value of $716,745) to South Sudan’s National Transitional Committee (NTC) in order to feed tens of thousands of soldiers assembled in various cantonment sites across the country. Stephen Pal, South Sudan’s Minister of Peace Building, said at the handover ceremony that the Chinese assistance would speed up the unification of the joint military force.
