Cuba’s Embassy in China stated that the shipment is currently being processed at the facilities of the Jiangxi Jingia Grain Corporation and will be transported by sea in the coming weeks.

According to reports, the Chinese authorities made a symbolic delivery of the consignment to Cuban officials, thus demonstrating a new gesture of solidarity and friendship between the two countries.

Apart from this donation, since July, China has sent to Cuba several shipments of health supplies to support the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Among those supplies were 30 lung ventilators, plus 150 oxygen concentrators.
