Cambodia donates $100,000 to China for quake relief

PHNOM PENH, May 15 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian government on Thursday donated 100,000 U.S. dollars for the relief to the earthquake victims in China.

On behalf of the Cambodian government, Hor Namhong, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, handed over the donation to Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jinfeng, along with a letter of condolence from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.

"I feel extremely saddened that your country has suffered the loss of thousands of lives, injuries and extensive damages due to the powerful earthquake in Sichuan province, central part of China," Hun Sen wrote in the letter dated May 14.

"On behalf of the Royal Government and people of Cambodia, may I convey to Your Excellency and the People of China, particularly the victims and members of the bereaved families my deepest sympathy and profound condolences for the tragic loss and great suffering brought about by this natural disaster," he wrote.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Cambodian Red Cross donated 10,000 U.S. dollars through the Chinese embassy in Phnom Penh to the Red Cross Society of China to facilitate its humanitarian activities for the earthquake-affected areas.

A 7.8-magnitude quake rocked Wenchuan county, 159 km northwest of the southwest Sichuan province's capital of Chengdu, at 14:28 (0628 GMT) on Monday, killing thousands of people in eight affected provinces.

We can notice that China and Myammar are the two countries which beated bouddhists monks like animals.

Maybe the great Bouddha heard it.

6:00PM,
Why so bitter!!! Good deed begins from the heart. If you can help financially just pray for the victims. It is a natural disasters not a politic schemes. Ignorance is not a bliss!!!

C'est très difficile pour le peuple chinois lorsque l'on a vu l'ampleur de catastrophe en Chine. Pas de mot pour qualifier tout cela.

Le gouvernement de Hun Sen a fait un don de 100 000 dollars US à l'ambassade de Chine, est ce que Hun Sen a pensé au peuple khmer qui crève de faim tous les jours, à mon avis c'est encore plus pire que la catastrophe de tremblement de terre en Chine. C'est vraiment du n'importe quoi, RIDICULE HUN SEN !
