The Government extended a $ 1 million financial assistance to provide relief to the people of Myanmar affected by the recent earthquake.

The relevant cheque was officially handed over recently at the Presidential Secretariat by the Secretary to the President Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake to the Ambassador of Myanmar to Sri Lanka Marlar Than Htaik.

The Ambassador of Myanmar expressed her deep appreciation to President Anura Kumara Disanayake and the Government of Sri Lanka for this gesture of solidarity and support towards the disaster-stricken people of Myanmar — despite the prevailing economic challenges in Sri Lanka.

She also extended her gratitude for Sri Lanka’s decision to deploy relief teams and medical personnel during this difficult time.

Ambassador Htaik also noted that such acts of compassion and solidarity further strengthen the longstanding religious and cultural friendship between Sri Lanka and Myanmar.

The Ambassador also briefed the Secretary to the President on the current situation in Myanmar following the earthquake.

Senior Additional Secretary to the President Roshan Gamage, along with officials from the Embassy of Myanmar Winh Wint Khaus Tun and Lei Yi Win, were also present at this occasion.
