Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday sent a message of sympathy to Myanmar's Prime Minister Thein Sein in the wake of a cyclone that killed tens of thousands of people in the southeast Asian country.
Wen expressed the belief that Myanmar would soon overcome the difficulties caused by the cyclone and restore normal life for its people.
According to latest reports, more than 15,000 people have been killed by cyclone Nargis, which swept across five divisions and states of Myanmar last weekend.
