PHNOM PENH, May 13 (Xinhua) -- A deputy of the royal family of Cambodia on Tuesday presented 50,000 U.S. dollars and two letters of sympathy to the Chinese Embassy to express the family's support for China to carry out relief works in the earthquake-affected areas.

King Norodom Sihamoni and king's father Norodom Sihanouk respectively wrote letters to Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao to express their sympathy for the victims and their families, as well as their support for the Chinese government to salvage the survivors, said a press release from the embassy.

Meanwhile, Sihanouk donated 50,000 U.S. dollars for China to beef up its relief works, it said.

Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jinfeng expressed deep gratitude to the royal family and informed the deputy about the current situation in the disaster-affected region.

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.
