China on Tuesday delivered a military aid package that included 257 vehicles to replace a distribution the US canceled after an expulsion of Uighur asylum seekers last year. Officials said the aid delivery was a routine part of bilateral ties between the two countries.
Among the delivery were 200 transport trucks, 30 cars for commanders, 20 military ambulances, five mechanic’s vehicles and two trucks for the transport of heavy armor.
“I believe our Cambodian friends will be able to use these trucks for the interest of economic and social development,” said Chi Wanchun, political commissar of the general armaments department of the People’s Liberation Army, who is on an official visit to Cambodia.
