The Cambodian government offered $100,000 to China on Thursday, to help the country recover from a devastating earthquake that has killed tens of thousands.
Foreign Minister Hor Namhong called the money “a gesture to express our condolences and sympathy for China.”
The money will be added to $50,000 offered by former king Norodom Sihanouk earlier this week and is the second donation Cambodia has made to its neighbors this month. Cambodia gave the Burmese junta $50,000 last week in the wake of a deadly cyclone.
Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jinfeng said her country was grateful.
“Cambodia is at an important step of its economic development, but it still takes $100,000 of its budget,” she said. “We don’t think about the amount. We think about the heart. We regard this as No. 1 support for China.”

Une petite question a HUN SEN:
La Federation Indochinoise serait bientot realisee, esperes-tu, a ce moment la, d'etre enterre a cote droit de HO, HUN SEN?
N'importe qui pourrait repondre a cette question a ta place!
[A quick question for HUN SEN:
The Federation of Indochina will soon be materialized, do you hope to be burried on the right hand side of HO by then, HUN SEN?
Anybody can answer that question in your stead!]
