The Cambodian government on Wednesday donated 50,000 U.S. dollars to cyclone-stricken Myanmar to relieve the difficulties there, said Hor Namhong, Cambodian Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

"This small amount of money is our people and government's spirit and heart to help the Myanmar people and government which is our friend in the ASEAN family," Hor Nam Hong told reporters at his office after he met with a Myanmar diplomatic official on Wednesday morning.

Hor Namhong handed over the donation to Aung Naing, Myanmar Ambassador to Cambodia, after they talked about the cyclone disaster in Myanmar.

"The Cambodian people and government join the condolences for Myanmar's families and the government who suffered from the cyclone disaster. It is our sadness," Hor Nam Hong said.

Cambodia also conveyed a wish for the referendum in Myanmar to succeed, he added.

Hang all the bloody Viet troller/pimp and parasites on KI-Media such as the ones @2:22 PM.

You Viet parasites must know the universal language:

"The world sees and knows the Viet true color too well already".

how kind of cambodia. despite being labeled as one of the poorest nation in the world, we still help in the name of humanitarian because we understand suffering is the same for all people, regardless of nationality. plus, i guess we see myanmar (burma for those you are in the dark)as a member of asean and thus it is the right thing for cambodia to contribute, however little or a lot (doesn't matter, the kind gesture matters more) we can give. god bless cambodia.

Well said 1:40 AM...it's the true color of Khmer people as opposed to the true color of the Viet invaders that had been constantly and still are interfering with Cambodian's affairs. Thanks for writing.
