BEIJING: The Chinese government announced on Monday that it would provide an additional $29.4million of humanitarian aid to Pakistan for the reconstruction of flood hit areas.

The Chinese government had previously given an estimated $19million in humanitarian relief to Pakistan.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu stressed on Sept 2 that China's assistance to flood-hit Pakistan was sincere, timely and unconditional. She said China would continue to offer Pakistan support and help for the reconstruction.

According to an online news report published on August 31, a Chinese medical team had received up to 1,451 patients in Thatta.

A Chinese business man also donated $146,557 for flood victims, stating that Pakistan and China enjoy a special relationship.

LG Wang | 14 years ago | Reply To Jai: Please do not mix different things together and treat them as if they were one. It's stupid to do so. China only crushes those secessionists, not Uighr muslims. Uighur muslims are Chinese nationals, and China treat them equally as all the other Chinese citizens so long as they don't engage in secession. Sino-Pakistani relationship is ever-lasting, and no matter how you disparage it, it won't change. We love our Pakistani friends.

jai | 14 years ago | Reply Meanwhile China crushes the Uighur muslims under its boots. Lets see how long the Sino-Pak relationship lasts. Pakistan is just being used by China against India. China does not care for Islam nor has any common values with Pakistan. Sooner or later they will get in each other's way. Pakistani politicians have made Pakistan a slave on whose shoulder people fire their gun from instead of developing Pakistan for the good of the Pakistani people.

Azad | 14 years ago | Reply China our eternal friend has once against selflessly given us so much aid and send so many doctors to Pakistan. We love China.

Zhongguoren | 14 years ago | Reply Chinese people could have done a lot more for their brothers and sisters the Pakistani people if it were not for the fact that China herself were hit by massive rainfalls, once-in-a-hundred-year floods and huge mudslides at the same time as Pakistan were being inundated all over the country. As a Chinese, I am pleased to see that our government is doing its due to provide Pakistan with what it needs at this difficult time, for both of our nations. The money and relief supplies sent, though rather limited in quantity, are well-meant and well-spent. Rest assured, Pakistan and China will emerge from the present disaster stronger and more prosperous. May Allah bless you all。
