A second batch of disaster-relief supplies from the Chinese government arrived in Yangon on Thursday after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28.

The shipment includes 800 tents, 2,000 blankets, 3,000 boxes of biscuits, 2,000 boxes of mineral water, and other urgently needed supplies. The aid was flown from Beijing Capital International Airport to Yangon on a chartered cargo plane on Thursday morning.

The first batch of Chinese disaster-relief supplies arrived in Myanmar on Monday.

Li Ming, Spokesperson for the China International Development Cooperation Agency, said on Wednesday that China is ready to continue providing aid and support to the disaster-stricken people of Myanmar.

"With the joint efforts of China and the international community, the people of Myanmar will secure an early victory over the disaster and the reconstruction of their homeland," Li said.
