India offers US $ 5 million to China for earthquake relief, imposes conditions of use
Ministry of external affairs issued a statement “Keeping in view India’s close and good neighbourly ties with China, the Government of India has decided to offer assistance of US $ 5 million to China for its relief activities for the victims of the earthquake.” Then MEA determined its use “This amount would be utilized for relief material including blankets, tents, sleeping bags, medicines.”
The condition will ensure that China does not use India’s own money for destabilising India by forwarding it to anti-India causes.
A major earthquake had struck the Sichuan province on 12th May, 2008 with killing more than 50,000 Chinese.
China has so far not reacted to the Indian offer.
