KHARTOUM, June 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese embassy in Khartoum has offered a batch of aid materials to the Sudan Acrobatic Troupe.

At the handover ceremony held on Monday, Chinese Ambassador to Sudan Ma Xinmin expressed his confidence in the two countries' friendship.

"Today, the donation made by the Chinese embassy in Sudan to the Sudan Acrobatic Troupe embodies China's best wishes to the troupe for a more flourishing future," Ma said.

"It also manifests our ardent expectation to pass on the bilateral friendship from generation to generation. We are convinced that with good care and great contribution from various circles in China and Sudan, the blossom of China-Sudan friendship is bound to endure," he said.
