HOHHOT, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Trucks loaded with fodder, donated by China as disaster relief to southern Mongolia's Omnogovi Province following blizzards and sandstorms, have left the Chinese border city of Bayannur, in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous region.
According to the city authority, all 150 tonnes of donated fodder has passed through the border port between Bayannur and the neighboring Mongolian province across the border.
He Lei, director of the municipal foreign affairs office, said that the Mongolian province has suffered from several rounds of blizzards and sandstorms since the winter, resulting in a severe shortage of forage for livestock in the area. It requested assistance in the form of forage from the city of Bayannur.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of sister relations between Bayannur and Omnogovi Province. The donation of disaster relief carried China's good wishes, supporting Mongolia in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic and coping with disasters, said He. Enditem
