China sends emergency flood aid to Sri Lanka

The government of China Monday has sent over $ 1.5 million worth emergency relief supplies to flood-ravaged Sri Lanka.

A Chinese place carrying the emergency humanitarian aid left Beijing on Monday at 8:00 p.m. local time, Chinese news agency, Xinhua reported.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said last week that China has offered emergency humanitarian aid worth 10 million yuan (about 1.52 million U.S. dollars) to Sri Lanka.
