On the morning of June 15, the People's Government of Pingxiang City donated about 30000 US dollars worth of materials for the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic to the Kabwe Municipal Government.
Since the discovery of the COVID-19 on March 18, 2020, there have been 1382 confirmed cases in Zambia. Due to the relatively backward medical conditions in Zambia, Pingxiang Municipal People's Government donated 30000 masks (including 10000 KN95 and 20000 medical masks) to support Kabwe to win the battle against the COVID-19 as soon as possible.
Entrusted by the Pingxiang Municipal People's Government, Qin Xiangui, Vice President of the Zambia Pingxiang Fellow Association, delivered a speech on behalf of the Pingxiang Municipal People's Government to hand over donated materials to the Kabwe Municipal Government. In his speech, Vice President Qin said that the People's Government of Pingxiang City was highly concerned about the fight against COVID-19 in Kabwe City. When he learned that the first-line selfless medical staff and school teachers and students in Kabwe City lacked necessary protective materials, Mayor Li Jianghe of Pingxiang City immediately organized relevant departments to raise materials and transport them to Kabwe City, Zambia, ten thousand miles away at the first time.
Mayor Prince of Kabwe City expressed sincere gratitude to the Pingxiang City Government for the donated materials, praising the unbreakable bilateral relationship between China and Zambia. Pingxiang City and Kabwe City have a genuine friendship and are brothers who share weal and woe. The donated mask supplies will greatly assist frontline workers in achieving the ultimate victory in fighting against the epidemic. Mayor Prince also stated that in the future, the two cities will carry out in-depth cooperation in areas such as trade and investment, cultural exchanges, etc., to jointly benefit the people of both cities.
On December 13th last year, Kabwe City in Zambia's Central Province and Pingxiang City in Jiangxi Province, China jointly signed a memorandum of understanding to establish friendly city relations. After the COVID-19, Cabway City and Pingxiang City stood by and helped each other through thick and thin. On February 21, 2020, at the time of the spread of COVID-19 in China, Prince, Mayor of Kabwe, sent a sincere letter of condolences to Li Jianghe, Mayor of Pingxiang, encouraging the people of Pingxiang to overcome the difficulties under the strong leadership of the Chinese government, and believing that the people of Pingxiang will win in the fight against COVID-19!
Also attending the donation ceremony were leaders of Kabwe City and heads of various functional departments, Huang Xianggao, Executive Vice President of Zambia Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Yaoqing, Vice President, Xu Jianfeng, General Manager of Zambia Jiangxi Economic Cooperation Zone, Li Senyuan, Vice President of Zambia Pingxiang Fellow Association, Wu Jinghui, and others.
