The Ministry of National Defense of the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC), last Thursday, provided a large consignment of military equipment and supplies free of charge to Liberia’s Ministry of National Defense (MoD). The consignment included medical and engineering equipment and supplies valued atUS$300 million, according to a release from the MoD. “This grant is very timely and the AFL highly appreciates it,” Samukai told the Chinese delegation that made the presentation. It can be recalled that a previous assistance was also given about a year ago to the AFL Engineering Battalion. Meanwhile, the US$300M grant will also be used to help repair vehicles and other logistics supplied in the previous assistance, and will empower the AFL Engineering Battalion to do more in the rebuilding of Liberia.
