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.
