In the wake of Cyclone Ditwah, which affected more than 1 million people across Sri Lanka, the Export–Import Bank of Korea (Korea Exim) has pledged $ 50,000 in humanitarian assistance to Sri Lanka through the Korea Red Cross.
The support, provided in response to a request made by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, is intended to deliver immediate relief and assist recovery operations following the widespread devastation caused by the cyclone.
Korea Exim Bank Chairman and CEO Kiyeon Hwang, conveying his condolences to President Dissanayake, emphasised that the Exim Bank deeply values its longstanding partnership with the Government of Sri Lanka.
He further stated that the institution stands in solidarity with Sri Lanka and is pleased to extend this assistance to help restore essential public facilities and provide relief to affected families currently sheltered in temporary accommodation.
With this contribution from the Korea Exim Bank, the total humanitarian assistance extended by the Republic of Korea to Sri Lanka now amounts to $ 550,000.
