China has announced an emergency aid package of 100 million yuan (approximately $13.78 million) to support Myanmar's recovery efforts following a devastating earthquake, according to Li Ming, a spokesperson for the China International Development Cooperation Agency. The assistance includes two specialized rescue teams and critical supplies such as tents, blankets, first aid kits, food, and drinking water.
The first rescue team arrived in Yangon on Saturday, with Li emphasizing that further support will be tailored to Myanmar's evolving needs. This rapid response underscores China's commitment to regional solidarity during humanitarian crises.
Analysts note that the aid aligns with broader efforts to strengthen disaster management collaboration in Asia. As both countries navigate the quake's aftermath, the initiative highlights the importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing natural disasters.
