LUSAKA, April 20 -- The Bank of China on Monday donated medical materials to Zambia aimed at helping the country enhance its COVID-19 fight.
The donated items included 5,000 gloves, 2,000 protective garments, 2,000 protective headgears and 2,000 masks.
The bank decided to make a donation because it feels it was part of the community, said Wang Qi, managing director of Bank of China (Zambia) Limited.
He said the bank feels that it was its responsibility to offer assistance after more than 20 years of existence in Zambia and that the bank has now become part of the country.
He further said the cooperation between China and Zambia has been growing and that it was the duty of the current generation to take the relationship to a higher level.
