Yao Jinxiang pointed out that because Taiwanese manufacturers do not directly produce diesel generators, other assembly needs to be done, and the evaluation will take 2 months, which is not urgent, so the power generation equipment is purchased locally.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also carrying out a plan to send warmth in the cold winter. It will give priority to purchasing blankets, warm clothes, cold-proof supplies and dry food in the country, and send them to the country through pipelines after the purchase is completed.

Possibly through Poland and then to Ukraine.

This is not an external solicitation activity, but the government directly provides assistance, and domestic procurement is given priority to domestic procurement.
