Angola Receives Aid From China

The Angolan government Thursday received in Luanda an aid worth more than 600,000 US dollars from China, which is aimed at helping the country alleviate the sufferings of the displaced people by the heavy floods earlier this year.

Speaking at a handover ceremony, Angolan Minister of Assistance and Social Reintegration Albino Malungo expressed his appreciation of the aid from China, saying that the assistance is of great importance for the 115,000 displaced people in the country.

The Chinese aid, including 100 tons of rice, 24,000 tins of beef and luncheon meat, cooking utensils and other daily necessities, will be distributed to the displaced in the central Bie Province, the minister said.

Chinese Ambassador to Angola Jiang Yuande said that the donation shows the traditional friendly relationship between China and Angola.

Meanwhile, Jiang also expressed the hope that peace can be restored in Angola as early as possible.
