For her part, Wang said the emergency food aid project is among the first outcomes of efforts by China and Togo to advance their comprehensive strategic partnership.
The food supplies carry the profound friendship of the Chinese people and represent concrete measures by China to support Togo in improving livelihoods and addressing food security challenges, as well as a vivid example of China's commitment to building a community with a shared future for mankind, she added.
