Karachi: Chinese Consul General (CM) in Karachi Li Bijian this week presented a cheque of $ 100,000 to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah for Karachi welfare and another of RMB 500,000 for the CM’s Fund for flood-affected people.

The senior Chinese diplomat briefed Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on China’s rehabilitation activities after the recent floods in the province.

Li Bijan informed that a team of their experts is scheduled to visit the flood-affected areas of Sukkur division to survey the collapsed houses and then select areas to reconstruct the houses, said an official statement.
