On October 9th, Ambassador Huang Qinguo, on behalf of the Chinese Government, handed over emergency humanitarian cash aid of $500,000 to Captain Stephen Russel, Director of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), towards its Hurricane Dorian recovery and rebuilding efforts. Mrs. Sharon Brennen- Haylock, Director General of Ministry of Foreign Affairs attended the handover ceremony.
Ambassador Huang said the Chinese government and people care about those impacted by Hurricane Dorian, and China will stand with the Bahamian people in support of the recovery efforts, in hope that the affected Bahamian people will rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
