China has donated additional relief goods valued at 20 million yuan (about 2.5 million US dollars) to Pakistan, the Chinese ambassador announced Friday.

The relief goods, including 3,300 cotton tents and 33,000 blankets, were airlifted in 4 batches to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad from Dec. 29, 2005 to Jan. 1, 2006, according to Ambassador Zhang Chunxiang.

Zhang informed journalists of the Chinese donation at a signing ceremony regarding the handing over of the relief items at the cabinet division with Pakistani Cabinet Secretary Ejaz Rahim.

Speaking on the occasion, Rahim thanked the Chinese ambassador for China's donation of the relief goods.

He recounted the solid contribution made by the Chinese government in providing relief to the earthquake affected people.

"The promptness and relevance of the goods has created enormous goodwill in the people. It is another example of Pak-China tested friendship," he said.
