ISLAMABAD – China always stands shoulder to shoulder with Pakistanis, and Chinese government sent donation for emergency aid to rain-hit areas in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The recent spell of rains and snowfall in various districts, including Balochistan, resulted in loss of lives and significant damage to residential structures.
In light of the disaster, China steps up relief efforts for flood-hit regions. A ceremony was held in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, and Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong handed $100,000 emergency cash assistance over to the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan Mohammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi .
Beijing hopes that cash donation can provide timely and necessary assistance to those bearing brunt of heavy rains and floods.
Chinese Embassy, Consulates and Chinese enterprises in Pakistan have also taken active action, distributed 30,000 bottles of mineral water and 3,000 cans of food and other supplies to the people in Gwadar, and taken people into refuge at the Gwadar Faqur School built with China’s aid. In the near future, an additional RMB 500,000 in material assistance will be provided through the Consulate General in Karachi.
