China will provide additional humanitarian aid, including 25,000 tents, to flood-devastated Pakistan, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Monday. The Red Cross Society of China will also provide $300,000 in emergency cash assistance to the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, Zhao said. 

The floods have hit Pakistan’s Balochistan province, where Chinese companies are involved in major infrastructure projects as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiative.
