Former Cambodian king donates to flood-affected people in China

Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing wrote to former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk on June 8, expressing China's appreciation for his sympathy for and donation to the flood-affected people in China, the ministry said on June 14.

"The Chinese government and people thank Sihanouk for his sympathy for and donation to the disaster-affected people in Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, which were hit by floods and rainstorms since May," said Li in his letter to the former Cambodian king.

Sihanouk wrote a letter to Li to express his sympathy for the flood-affected people in these places and donated 20,000 US dollars to them.

"The Red Cross Society of China has transferred the donation to the disaster-affected people," Li said in the letter.
