MOSCOW (Sputnik) - In March, Moscow handed humanitarian aid to the Central African Republic (CAR) in the form of 50,000 tons of wheat. In January, the nation already received 50,000 tons of free Russian grain.
Part of Russia’s aid in the form of 50,000 tons of wheat can be distributed in the Central African Republic’s eastern and border regions, the Russian Embassy in Bangui said on Wednesday.
The embassy said that Russian Ambassador to CAR Alexander Bikantov held a meeting with Sudan’s ambassador in Bangui on Wednesday to discuss situation in the border areas between the CAR and Sudan.
"The Russian ambassador informed his Sudanese counterpart about the supply of Russian humanitarian food aid to the Central African Republic in the form of 50,000 tons of wheat, part of which can be used to meet the needs of the population and people living in temporary accommodation in the eastern and border regions of the country," the embassy wrote in its Telegram channel.
