Chinese grant supports Mauritania defense overhaul

2010-04-20

China on Monday (April 19th) donated ten million yuan (about 1.1m euros) to help Mauritania boost its defense capacities, Chinese news agency Xinhua reported. Under the agreement signed in Nouakchott by Mauritanian Defense Minister Hamadi Ould Hamadi and Chinese Ambassador to Mauritania Zhang Xun, the funds will supply the Mauritanian army with artillery equipment, bulldozers and other material used by the military. The Chinese donation comes as Mauritania restructures and strengthens its defense and security sectors, Ould Hamadi was quoted as saying.
