China on Tuesday announced a donation of US$300,000 to help rain-ravaged Colombia.
"To help the Colombian government with relief work, China decided to donate US$300,000," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement.
Colombia was hit by heavy downpours during the country's second rainy season, which began in September. At least 67 people were killed and 94 others were injured. Almost 1 million people were affected.
