Chinese Ambassador to Sudan Li Chengwen Tuesday delivered a
batch of aid to the local government of the western Sudanese region
of Darfur.
As the fundamental way out for Darfur lies in development, the
delivery of the aid, including electric generators, pumps and
medical instruments, is conducive to regional development of the
conflict-torn region, said Li at the delivery ceremony in Nyala,
capital city of the South Darfur State.
The aid not only embodies the China-Sudan friendship, but
represents the sincere hope of the Chinese government for the early
realization of peace in Darfur, said the Chinese ambassador.
China will continue to play a constructive role in the efforts
to properly resolve the Darfur issue, he added.
Applauding and appreciating China's long-term impartial
assistance, Sudanese Energy and Mining Minister Awad Ahmed al-Jaz
said that China's aid will play an important role in the regional
reconstruction and development of Darfur and help the displaced
people in the war-torn region return to their homes at an early
date.
On behalf of the recipients, South Darfur Governor Ali Mahmud
expressed his heartfelt thanks for China's generous assistance and
its unremitting efforts to solve the Darfur issue.
