Burundi – China relations

Burundi	China

Diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Burundi were established on December 21, 1963, under Chairman Mao Zedong and King Mwambutsa IV Bangiriceng, respectively. ^[1] King Mwambutsa broke off diplomatic relations with China in 1965, although they were restored under Michel Micombero the first President of Burundi, on October 31, 1971. ^{[1] [2]} Since then, China has provided development aid to Burundi, including helping with the construction of a textiles mill in Bujumbura. ^[1] As of 2002, China exported $2.718 worth of goods, while importing only $491,000 worth of goods from Burundi. ^[1] The current Chinese ambassador to Burundi is Feng Zhijun. ^{[1] [3]}
