Chinese embassy to Cambodia on Friday afternoon organized a fund raising event through selling China-made ceramic products, household items and jewelry in order to raise money for Cambodian Red Cross.

Zhao Xiao Ling, the wife of Chinese ambassador Pan Guangxue, said it was the first time the embassy held the two-hour event and a number of high-profile figures in Cambodia had been invited to buy products at the event.

"The money from the product sales will be donated to Cambodian Red Cross for humanitarian activities," she said.

Any Sok An, first vice-president of Cambodian Red Cross, expressed sincere thanks to Chinese embassy for organizing the event, which is partly contributing to help Cambodian Red Cross in its humanitarian cause.

"China is not only Cambodia's largest investor, trading partner and infrastructure donor, but it is also the country's largest donor in humanitarian activities."

"China's donation is really vital to relieve difficulties that Cambodian people are facing due to disasters," she said.

Expressing his opinion about the fund raising event, Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tea Banh said that the event reflected China's attention to help Cambodia in humanitarian activities.
