The Chinese government donated 1,160 sets of prefabricated houses Monday for Myanmar's flood victims.

The donation, valued at some 30 million yuan (4.6 million U.S. dollars), was delivered ceremonially to the Myanmar side at Myanmar International Terminals Thilawa.

Attending the handover ceremony were Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar Hong Liang and Myanmar Deputy Minister for Construction Dr. Win Myint.

The Chinese ambassador said since Myanmar was severely struck by flood in August and September last year, China has offered emergency aid and follow-up relief worth over 100 million yuan (15.34 million U.S. dollars).

China and Myanmar are friendly neighbors and Chinese people share the same sentiment when Myanmar people suffer from natural disasters, he said, adding that helping Myanmar people overcome hardship brought by the disasters is a demonstration of the China-Myanmar paukphaw (fraternal) friendship.

Thanking China over the aid, the Myanmar deputy minister of construction pointed out that this is the third batch of assistance rendered by the Chinese government to Myanmar.

Along with the donation, the Chinese side has dispatched technicians to install one row of prefabricated houses as demonstration.
