Planting the seeds of hope

Emergency aid and agricultural support from China have made an important contribution to food security in Africa

The Chinese government is deeply concerned about the serious drought and famine in the Horn of Africa.

Premier Wen Jiabao declared on Monday, in his meeting with Prime Minister of Ethiopia Meles Zenawi, that the Chinese government will provide an additional 353.2 million yuan ($55.28 million) in emergency food aid to help Ethiopia and other drought-hit African countries cope with the current famine. China had already announced 90 million yuan in food aid earlier this month.
