Chinese Community in PNG donates to Earthquake relief efforts

Prime Minister Peter O'Neill receiving Chinese Community
in PNG donation of K1.3 million. 

The Chinese Business Community in PNG have come together to make a kind donation of K1.3 million to assist victims of the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in some parts of the highlands region especially Hela and Southern Highlands Province.

While the death toll and destruction continue to mount, it is a relief to know that at a time of need, we have friends from abroad as well in the country who feel our pain and are willing to help in such occasions.

The donation from the Chinese Business Community will go towards the Relief and Restoration Trust Fund that PM Peter O’Neill announced yesterday.

He was also at hand to accept the donation on behalf of the PNG Government and the people of PNG, especially the people from the affected provinces, and sincerely thanked the Chinese Business Community and the Chinese Government and people for their continuous support today and over the years especially in times like this.
