CPAFFC Donates 100,000 RMB to Chilean Earthquake-Hit Area

The CPAFFC has donated 100，000 yuan to the people of Chile， who suffered an earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale on February 27， to help with the recovery work.

Entrusted by President Chen Haosu， Vice President Li Xiaolin went to the Chilean Embassy in China on March 1 to express solicitude for the disaster.

Li said an earthquake of such magnitude inevitably had caused a great loss of life and property， for which the Chinese people felt sad.

She handed the check to the Chilean Ambassador and asked him to pass it on to the Chilean Government and at the same time convey the CPAFFC’s sincerest sympathy to the Government and people of Chile. She expressed the belief that under the leadership of their government， the Chilean people would surely overcome the difficulties and rebuild their home at an early date.

Ambassador Fernando Reyes Matta expressed his heartfelt thanks to the CPAFFC for its generous donation at a time when the Chilean people most needed after the earthquake. Chile and China were close friends sharing weal and woe who were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2010. The CPAFFC donation fully showed the profound friendly sentiment of the Chinese people， and also further enhanced the Chilean people’s confidence and determination to overcome the disaster， he added.
