Bangladesh to send relief worth 100 mln USD to flood-hit Thailand
Bangladesh will send relief supply worth about one million U.S. dollars for the flood victims of Thailand, said a press release issued by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Monday.
It said that the relief materials are being dispatched to represent Bangladesh's sympathy and care for Thai flood-hit people, as well as demonstrate friendship between the two countries.
The Bangladeshi government and its people are deeply concerned over the devastating flood that the Southeast Asian country is experiencing, said the press release.
It said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sent a message to her Thai counterpart, Yingluck Shinawatra, expressing her condolence and sympathy at the loss of lives and damages of properties caused by the flood, worst in more than 50 years.
Bangladesh would be most happy to extend all possible cooperation to the friendly people of Thailand in addressing the challenge and hopes that the people of Thailand would soon be able to overcome it, it added.
