Beijing: China has agreed to pay for a new national stadium and library in El Salvador as part of an infrastructure package promised to the country after it switched allegiance from Taiwan to Beijing.
“President Xi Jinping has just granted El Salvador gigantic, non-refundable cooperation, completely managed by our government,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele tweeted late on Tuesday announcing the projects, including a large capacity “modern” stadium.
The two countries issued a joint statement saying Beijing would also pay for the construction of two water supply projects, as well as the “reconstruction and expansion” of the “Surf City” tourism area and La Libertad pier along El Salvador’s coastline. (AFP)
