China vows all-out efforts to help quake-hit Myanmar

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday that the Chinese rescue forces have saved six people in earthquake-hit Myanmar, vowing that China will do its best to search and rescue the survivors, treat the injured, and ensure that aid supplies reach those affected in the disaster zone.
"After the earthquake, China immediately launched the emergency response mechanism and has done everything possible to provide emergency services and consular protection," Guo told a daily news briefing.
As of now, Guo said around 400 Chinese personnel, including experts, rescuers and medical workers, have been assisting in the disaster relief efforts in various places in Myanmar.
China has also sent a first batch of relief supplies worth 100 million yuan ($13.78 million) to Myanmar, including tents, first aid kits, food and drinking water, he added.
Guo expressed the belief that with the support of the international community, the government and people of Myanmar will be united as one and rise above the disaster and rebuild their homes.
