In a significant display of international solidarity, China has pledged $1 million in emergency aid to Vanuatu to support disaster response and post-disaster reconstruction efforts. This announcement was made on Monday by the China International Development Cooperation Agency.
Li Ming, spokesperson for the agency, highlighted that China has collaborated with local Chinese company experts to conduct preliminary disaster assessments. Additionally, a dedicated medical team has been dispatched to assist those affected by the recent earthquake in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu.
